If anyone is unaccusable, a husband of, one wife, having children that believe, who are not charged with riotous excess, nor insubordinate;

For it is needful that the overseer be - unaccusable, as God's steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,

Whose mouths must needs be stopped, men who are upsetting whole houses, teaching the things which ought not to be taught - for the sake of base gain.

Not giving heed to Judaical stories and commandments of men who are turning away from the truth:

Aged women, in the same way, in deportment, as becometh sacred persons, not given to intrigue, nor yet, to much wine, enslaved, teachers of virtue, -

soberminded, chaste, workers at home, good, submitting themselves to their own husbands, - that, the word of God, be not defamed;

Servants, unto their own masters, to be submitting themselves in all things, to be, well-pleasing, not gainsaying,

not taking anything away, shewing, all good faith, - that, the instruction which is of our Saviour God, they may adorn in all things.

Not by works which we had done in righteousness, but, according to his mercy, he saved us - through means of the bathing of a new birth, and the moulding anew of Holy Spirit. -

Moreover, let our own learn to be forward, in honourable works, for the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
