Paul throughout this chapter elaborated on two of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He also explained the core purpose of the two and how we must never use them for our own glorification and prosperity.

In verse forty, Paul ends the chapter with the command that everything must be done in an orderly way.

Paul stated that God is not a God of disorder but of peace. Too often, Christians have opted for predictable and unvarying forms of worship in which God’s presence is as difficult to find as in disorderly gatherings.

When there is chaos, the church is not allowing God to work among believers as he would like. But we must as Christians never make worship so orderly that it rules our God’s creativity, joy, and unpredictability.

1 Corinthians 14:40
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
