that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of saints, and that you aid her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she has aided many, and myself also.

But lewdness, and all manner of uncleanness, or covetousness, let them not be named among you, as it becomes saints;

In like manner, also, I will that the women adorn themselves with decorous dress, with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly raiment,

Their wives likewise must be grave, not slanderers, watchful, faithful in all things.

But she that is a widow indeed, and left alone, trusts in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

Let not your adorning be that which is outward, which consists in plaiting the hair, and wearing gold, and putting on apparel:

Holiness

The deacons, likewise, must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not makers of money by base means,

Not given

For the bishop must be blame less, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not fond of wine, not quarrelsome, not one who makes money by base means;

Teachers

That they may teach the young women to be sober-minded, to love their husbands, to love their children,

For though you ought to be teachers, considering the time, yet you have need that some one teach you again what are the first elements of the oracles of God; and you have be come such as have need of milk, and not of strong food.

But I have against you that you suffer that woman Jezebel, who calls her self a prophetess, and teaches and deceives my servants to practice lewdness, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
