DECENTLY.1Co 14:40, Let all things be done decently and in order, that is, in a comely, handsome manner; for that is the old meaning of decent, and it is the meaning of the Gr. word used.<\/p>\n
desent-li (, euschemonos): Only once is this word found in our English Bible (1Co 14:40). It is in the last verse of that remarkable chapter on the proper use of spiritual gifts in the church and the proper conduct of public worship. It does not refer here to absence of impurity or obscenity. It rather refers to good order in the conduct of public worship. All things that are done and said in public worship are to be in harmony with that becoming and reverent spirit and tone that befit the true worshippers of God.<\/p>\n
denotes “gracefully, becomingly, in a seemly manner” (eu, “well,” schema, “a form, figure”); “honestly,” in Rom 13:13<\/span> (marg., “decently”), in contrast to the shamefulness of gentile social life; in 1Th 4:12<\/span>, the contrast is to idleness and its concomitant evils and the resulting bad testimony to unbelievers; in 1Co 14:40<\/span>, “decently,” where the contrast is to disorder in oral testimony in the churches. See HONESTLY. <\/p>\n Note: Cp. euschemosune, “comeliness,” 1Co 12:23<\/span>, and euschemon, “comely, honorable.” See COMELY. <\/p>\n Decently DECENTLY.1Co 14:40, Let all things be done decently and in order, that is, in a comely, handsome manner; for that is the old meaning of decent, and it is the meaning of the Gr. word used.
