As I exhorted thee when I was going into Macedonia, abide at Ephesus; that thou mayest charge some to teach no other doctrine, Neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies,

By the hypocrisy of them that speak lies, having their own consciences seared as with an hot iron:

Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father, the younger men as brethren;

The elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity.

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.
