if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.

For the overseer must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain's sake.

not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God's word may not be blasphemed.

Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;

not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.

to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
