[For a bishop must be above reproach ??he is a steward of God's house ??he must not be presumptuous or hot-tempered or a drunkard or violent or addicted to pilfering;

he must be hospitable, a lover of goodness, master of himself, a just man, a religious man, and abstemious;

he must hold by the sure truths of doctrine so as to be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and refute objections raised by any.]

they must be silenced, for they are undermining whole families by teaching objectionable doctrine for the base end of making money.

You must instruct people in what is due to sound doctrine.

they must give good counsel, so that the young women may be trained to love their husbands and children,

Remind them to be submissive to their rulers and authorities; they must obey, they must be ready for any good work,

they must abuse no one, they must not quarrel, but be conciliatory and display perfect gentleness to all men.

It is a sure saying. I want you to insist on this, that those who have faith in God must profess honest occupations. Such counsels are right and good for men.

Our people must really learn to profess honest occupations, so as to be able to meet such special occasions; they must not be idle.
