'Order' in the Bible

Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

holding fast to the faithful message according to the teaching, in order that he may be able both to exhort with sound instruction and to reprove those who speak against [it].

They must be silenced, because they are the kind of people who ruin whole families by teaching what they should not teach in order to make money in a shameful way.

This testimony is true, for which reason reprove them severely, in order that they may be sound in the faith,

in order that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands [and to] love their children,

[to be] self-controlled, pure, busy at home, good, being subject to their own husbands, in order that the word of God may not be slandered.

sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

training us in order that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we may live self-controlled and righteously and godly in the present age,

who gave himself for us, in order that he might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good deeds.

so that we would be justified [made free of the guilt of sin] by His [compassionate, undeserved] grace, and that we would be [acknowledged as acceptable to Him and] made heirs of eternal life [actually experiencing it] according to our hope (His guarantee).

This is a faithful saying, and on these various points I would have you insist strenuously, in order that those who have their faith fixed on God may be careful to set an example of good actions. For these are not only good in themselves, but are also useful to mankind.
