As I exhorted you to continue in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that you might charge certain ones not to teach a different doctrine,

But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

It is needful, therefore, that the bishop be irreproachable, a husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, hospitable, apt to teach,

(but, if one knows not how to preside over his own house, how will he take care of an assembly of God?);

These things command and teach.

Take heed to yourself, and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

And let those having believing masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the more, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
