Which verse ends with Let all things be done decently and in order?

• A. Proverbs 3:5
• B. 1 John 3:4
• C. 1 Corinthians 11:3
• D. 1 Corinthians 14:40

Answer: (D)

The statement tests your ability to recognize where a familiar ending phrase comes from by focusing on the theme of orderly worship. In this part of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, he’s laying out how worship services should be conducted so that everything is clear, respectful, and edifying for everyone present. The instruction to “let all things be done decently and in order” wraps up that whole discussion by stressing orderly conduct in worship. It’s the exact closing line of 1 Corinthians 14:40, tying together the practical rules Paul has been giving about speaking in tongues, prophecy, and general church order.

The other verses come from different contexts and do not end with that phrase, so they don’t fit the ending. Proverbs 3:5 speaks about trusting the Lord, not about church order. 1 John 3:4 discusses sin and lawlessness. 1 Corinthians 11:3 discusses authority and headship, not the concluding call for order in worship.
