      by arrangement: Or “in an orderly manner.” Lit., “according to order.” In this context, Paul encourages Christians to have orderly meetings for worship. (1Co 14:26-33) The Greek word used here is rendered “assignment” at Lu 1:8, where the orderly procedures of the temple service are described. In the Septuagint, it is used at Nu 1:52 to describe the well-organized camp of Israel.
