for lewd persons, for sodomites, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and for whatever other thing is opposed to sound teaching,

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

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

And let these also be first proved, then let them become deacons, being blameless.

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

Let no one despise your youth; but be an example to the believers, in word, in behavior, in love, in spirit, in faithfulness, in purity.

But if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to be dutiful to their own family, and to requite their parents; for that is good and acceptable in the sight of God.

Let a widow be put on the list, if she is not under sixty years, having been the wife of one man,

If any believing man or woman has widows, let him or her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are widows indeed.

Let the elders who rule well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching.

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

And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren: but rather let them serve them, because they who partake of the benefit of their service, are believers and beloved brethren. These things enforce in your teaching and exhortation.

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

who alone has immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no man has seen, nor can see, tn whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.
