Let all things be done decently and in order Rather, - only let," &c. For decentlysee Romans 13:13, where the same word is translated honestly. Also 1 Thessalonians 4:12, and ch. 1 Corinthians 12:23, where a word of similar derivation occurs, and is translated comeliness. In ch. 1 Corinthians 7:35, the adjective of the same derivation is rendered comely; in St Mark 15:43 and Acts 13:50, honourable. Its original meaning is well formed. Compare the Latin formafor beauty, and the English shapely. For in order, cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33. The Christian assembly should be a reflection of the universe, where formand orderreign supreme.
