Let a woman learn in silence in all submission;

Likewise let the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not fond of filthy lucre;

And let them also first be proven; then let them minister the office of deacon, being irreproachable.

Likewise let their wives be grave, not tattlers, modest, faithful in all things.

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

Let no one look with contempt upon your youth; but be you an example of the faithful, in word, in deportment, in divine love, in faith, in purity.

But if any widow has children, or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety to their own house, and to give benefactions to their ancestors: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

Let a widow not be taken into account under three score years, the wife of one husband,

If any faithful woman has widows, let her support them, and let not the church be burdened; in order that she may give her attention to those who are truly widows.

Let the elders who stand before the people beautifully, be considered worthy of double remuneration, especially those laboring in the word and teaching.

Let the servants so many as are under the yoke, esteem those who are their masters worthy of all honor, in order that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed.

But let those that have faithful masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather let them serve them, because they are the faithful and beloved who are partaking of the benefaction. Command these things and exhort them.
