Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection:

And let these also be first proved, and if found blameless, then let them enter on the deacon's office.

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ordering well their children and their own families.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be a pattern of the faithful, in discourse; in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Let these things be thy care; be wholly devoted to them; that thy progress may be evident to all men.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn as their first duty to shew their piety towards their own family, and make a grateful return to their progenitors: for this is becoming and acceptable before God.

Let no widow be put on the list under sixty years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband,

But if any man or woman who believes hath widows their relations, let him provide for them, and let not the church be burdened; that there may be a sufficiency for the real widows.

Let the elders who preside properly be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who are laborious in preaching and teaching.

LET as many slaves as are under the yoke account their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed.

But they who have believing masters, let them not think less of them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who have equally partaken of the benefit. These things teach and enjoin.

Having then food and raiment, let us be therewith content.
