If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of rebellion or unruly.

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not violent, not given to dishonest gain;

Whose mouths must be stopped, who ruin whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain.

Not giving heed to Jewish myths, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not talking back;

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

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

And let our own also learn to maintain good works for urgent needs, that they not be unfruitful.
