Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection.

And let these be proved first,

then let them minister, being found blameless.

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

Let no one despise thy youth; but be a pattern to them that believe, in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Honour widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or grand children, let these learn first to shew piety at home,

Let not a widow be chosen under threescore years old,

If any believing man or woman hath widows, let them relieve them; and let not the church be burthened, that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and teaching.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke, account their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of God and his doctrine be blasphemed.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them a service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

Having then food and covering, with these let us be content.
