    • 14:33

      a God not of disorder but of peace: Paul here contrasts disorder with peace. He describes Jehovah as “the God of peace” at Php 4:9, 1Th 5:23, and Heb 13:20 and as “the God who gives peace” at Ro 15:33 and 16:20. God-given peace forms the foundation for order and unity in the Christian congregation. Paul was not implying that doing things in an organized way would, in itself, result in peace. Rather, by conducting their worship in an orderly manner, the Corinthians would enjoy meetings in a peaceful environment that would serve “for building up,” so that “all may be encouraged.” (1Co 14:26-32) Orderly meetings of worship would reflect the qualities and character of the God of peace, bringing him honor.
