For kings and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

He ought also to have a good report from them that are without, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Honour widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or grand children, let these learn first to shew piety at home,
