All
things to be done decently, and in order |

Cor 14 : 40 |
But
everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. |

All
things to be done in love, and in mutual submission |
|
|
| 1
Cor 16 : 14 |
Do
everything in love. |
|
| 1
Pet 5 : 5 |
Young
men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All
of you, clothe yourselves with humility towards one another,

humble." |

|
Sisters
to keep silence |
|
|
| 1
Tim 2 : 11-12 |
A woman
should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit
a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be
silent. |

and
to dress modestly and in sobriety |
|
|
| 1
Tim 2 : 9 |
I also
want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not
with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but
with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship
God. |
|
| 1
Pet 3 : 3-4 |
Your
beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided
hair and the wearing of gold jewellery and fine clothes.
Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth
in God's sight. |

|
The
brethren at liberty on all questions of eating and drinking, and the
observance of feasts, sabbaths, and holy days |
|
|
| Col
2 : 16 |
Therefore
do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with
regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a
Sabbath day. |
|
| 1
Cor 10 : 25-26 |
Eat
anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of
conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything
in it." |
|
| Rom
14 : 5-7 |
One man
considers one day more sacred than another; another man
considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced
in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to
the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives
thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and
gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself alone and
none of us dies to himself alone. |

except
that they are not at liberty to do anything inconsistent with
holiness, or the glory of God |

Cor 10 : 31 |
So
whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the
glory of God. |
|
| 1
Pet 1 : 15-16 |
But
just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." |
|
| Heb
12 : 14 |
Make
every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy;
without holiness no-one will see the Lord. |
