And to do

As a man travelling, having left his house, and having given power to his servants, and to each his work, and he commanded the guard of the door that he should watch.

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, which the Lord will set over his household, to give the allowance of wheat in due time?

For as in one body we have many members, and all members have not the same action:

Servants, listen ye in all things to lords according to the flesh; not in eyeservice as pleasing men; but in simplicity of heart, fearing God:

For we hear some walking disorderly among you, working nothing, but occupied unprofitably.

And at the same time also they learn to be idle, going round about the houses; and not only idle, but also indulging in idle talk, and occupied with unnecessary things, speaking things not becoming.

That they render the young women discreet, to be lovers of the husband, lovers of the children,

As each received favor, serving the same among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
