Let a woman learn quietly in all subjection;

And let these be proved first, then let them serve, being found blameless.

Let the deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling well their children and their own houses.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the faithful, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

But if any widow has children or relatives, let them learn first to support their family and to make returns to their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

Let not a widow be enrolled under sixty years of age, a wife of one husband,

If any faithful man or faithful woman has widows, let them give them relief, and let not the church be burdened, that it may be able to relieve those really widows.

Let the elders who rule well be accounted worthy of a double compensation, especially those who labor in word and teaching.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke account their masters worthy of all honor, that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed.

And let those who have believing masters not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather serve, because they are believers and beloved, who partake of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

but having food and clothing let us be contented with them.
