⁴⁰ let all things be done decently and in order.

⁵ for if even in the flesh I am absent -- yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ;

⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee;

³⁴ and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.

²⁶ What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;

²⁷ if an `unknown' tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;

²⁸ and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.

²⁹ And prophets -- let two or three speak, and let the others discern,

³⁰ and if to another sitting `anything' may be revealed, let the first be silent;

³¹ for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,

³² and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,

³³ for God is not `a God' of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

¹³ as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;
