For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

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 proved; 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 thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in deportment, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

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

Let not a widow be taken into the number under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man.

If any man or woman that believeth hath 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 may not be blasphemed.

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

And having food and raiment, with these let us be content.

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