⁴⁰ But let all things be done decently and in order.

⁵ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;

³⁴ If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.

²⁶ What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

²⁷ If any man speaketh in a tongue, `let it be' by two, or at the most three, and `that' in turn; and let one interpret:

²⁸ but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

²⁹ And let the prophets speak `by' two or three, and let the others discern.

³⁰ But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.

³¹ For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted;

³² and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;

³³ for God is not `a God' of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.
