To lead

An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion.

Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

A sister

to peace.

I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Eat, friends;
Drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.”

I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;

the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.
