For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

And let these also first be tested; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Let no man despise your youth; but be an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety at home, and so repay their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

Let not a widow be put on the list under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

If any man or woman that believes has widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are believers and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

And having food and clothing let us be with these things content.

Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
