'Instructions' in the Bible

But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband

I praise and appreciate you because you remember me in everything and you firmly hold to the traditions [the substance of my instructions], just as I have passed them on to you.

Now I am not praising you in giving you the following instructions. When you gather, it is not for the better but for the worse.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. And I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come.
