First of all then, I am urging that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered regularly for all men;

It was Adam who was first formed, then Eve.

They should first be tested, and after that, if they are found irreproachable, let them serve as deacons.

but if any widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn to show their piety first toward their own household, and to make some return to their parents, for that is pleasing in God's sight.

and incur condemnation because they have broken their first troth.
