If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of luxury or unruly.

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not given to wine, no striker, not desirous of filthy gain:

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of filthy gain.

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

That the aged women in like manner, be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things:

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

not answering again, Not stealing, but shewing all good fidelity, that they may in all things adorn the gospel of God our Saviour.

To speak evil of no man, not to be quarrelsome, to be gentle, shewing all meekness toward all men.

Not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.

And let ours also learn to excell in good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
