As I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus, I going into Macedonia, in order that you may command certain ones not to teach heterodoxy,

Therefore it behooves the bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, modest, prudent, orderly, hospitable, competent to teach,

but if any one does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?

Command and teach these things.

Take heed to yourself and the teaching: continue in these things; for doing this you will indeed save yourself and those who hear you.
