Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

and let these also first be proved, then let them minister, being unblameable.

Ministrants -- let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses,

let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;

and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

A widow -- let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,

If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.

The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,

As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

and those having believing masters, let them not slight them, because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;
