To lead

Therefore the overseer must be irreproachable, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching,

who forbid marrying [and insist on] abstaining from foods that God created for sharing in with thankfulness by those who believe and who know the truth,

If anyone is blameless, [the] husband of one wife, having faithful children, not {accused of dissipation} or rebellious.

Marriage [must be] held in honor by all, and the marriage bed [be] undefiled, because God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers.

A sister

older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
