order in the church

Romans Chapter 12:4

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Romans Chapter 12:5

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Romans Chapter 12:6

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Romans Chapter 12:7

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

Romans Chapter 12:8

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:26

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:27

If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:28

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

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:29

Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:30

If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:31

For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:32

And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:33

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:34

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:35

And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:36

What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:37

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:38

But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:39

Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:40

Let all things be done decently and in order.

Ephesians Chapter 4:11

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Ephesians Chapter 4:12

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Ephesians Chapter 4:13

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Ephesians Chapter 4:14

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Ephesians Chapter 4:15

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

Ephesians Chapter 4:16

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:1

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:2

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:3

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:4

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:6

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:7

Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:8

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:9

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1 Timothy Chapter 2:10

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:11

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:12

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:13

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:14

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1 Timothy Chapter 2:15

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:1

This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:3

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:4

One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:5

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

1 Timothy Chapter 3:6

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:7

Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:8

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1 Timothy Chapter 3:9

Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:10

And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:11

Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:12

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:13

For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:14

These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

1 Timothy Chapter 3:15

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

1 Timothy Chapter 3:16

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

2 Timothy Chapter 2:15

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
