heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: what ye have received gratis, give gratis. Provide neither gold nor silver, nor brass in your purses: nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staves: for the workman deserves his maintenance. whatever city or town ye enter into, find out some house of repute, and there lodge till ye leave that place. As soon as ye enter into any house, salute the family. if the family be worthy, your benediction shall have its effect; but if it be not worthy, it shall only redound to your own advantage. if they should not receive you, nor mind your instructions: when ye depart out of that house, or city, shake off the pagan dust from your feet. I declare unto you, the people of Sodom and Gomorrha shall find less severity in the day of judgment, than that city. By your mission you will be expos'd like sheep in the midst of wolves: be then as circumspect as serpents, and as inoffensive as doves: be upon your guard with such men, for they will deliver you up to their tribunals, and scourge you in their synagogues. and ye shall be brought before governors and kings upon my account, to bear testimony of me to them and the rest of the Gentiles. but when they take you. into custody, be not sollicitous, how or what ye shall speak, for at the very instant you shall be inspir'd what to say. for it is not properly you that speak, but the spirit of your father that speaketh by you. then the brother shall betray his brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against their parents, and be the instruments of their death. and ye shall be hated by all the world for professing my name: but he that perseveres unto the end, shall escape. Then if they persecute you in one city, fly to another: for I assure you, before you have preach'd thro' all the cities of the Jews, the son of man will come. the disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. if the disciple fare as well as his master, and the servant as his lord, is not that sufficient? if they style the master of the house Beelzebub, much more will they call his domestics so. fear them not therefore: for there is nothing hid that shall not be revealed; or secret that shall not be made known. what I tell you in private, declare it in publick: and what is whisper'd in the ear, proclaim from the battlements of the house. fear not those who can only kill the body, but cannot hurt the soul: rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? yet not one of them shall lose its life independently of your father, by whom the very hairs of your head are all numbred: lay aside then your fears, ye are of a superior rank to those animals. Whosoever therefore shall own me before men, him will I own likewise before my father who is in heaven. but whosoever shall renounce me before men, him will I also renounce before my father who is in heaven. don't imagine that I am come to bring peace upon the earth: I came not to bring peace, but war. my coming will occasion discord between the son and his father, between the daughter and her mother, between the daughter in law and her mother in law: even a man's own domestics shall prove his foes. he that loveth father or mother more than me, is unworthy of me: he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is unworthy of me. and he that does not take his cross, and so follow after me, is unworthy of me. he that would preserve his life, shall lose it: and he that exposeth his life for my sake, shall save it. He that receives you, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him that sent me. he that receives a prophet in quality of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a just man, as such, shall receive the reward of the just. and whoever shall give only a cup of cold water to the meanest of you, considering him as my disciple, shall most assuredly be far from losing his reward.

carry neither purse, nor bag, nor shoes; neither salute any man by the way. at your entrance into any house, first say, prosperity be to this family. if any be there, who deserve your benediction, it shall have its effect upon them; otherwise, it shall redound to your own advantage. continue in the same house, and eat and drink whatever it affords: for a labourer deserves his wages: therefore don't shift from family to family. when you come to any city, where they receive you, eat without scruple, whatever food is set before you, and heal the sick you find there. tell the inhabitants the kingdom of God is drawing nigh unto them. but when you enter into any city, and they refuse to entertain you, go through the streets, and cry, "we shake off the dust, that sticks to our feet, against you: but take notice, the kingdom of God has been near you." I declare unto you, that the people of Sodom shall be treated with less severity in the day of judgment, than that city. wo unto thee Chorazin; wo unto thee Bethsaida: for if the miracles, which have been wrought among you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would long since have lain repenting in sackcloth and ashes. therefore Tyre and Sidon shall be treated with less severity in the day of judgment, than you. and thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to the sky, shall be plung'd into an abyss. he that adheres to you, adheres to me; he that rejects you, rejects me: and he that rejects me, rejecteth him that sent me.

This charge, my son Timothy, I recommend to you, agreeably to the prophetic gifts heretofore conferr'd on you, by virtue of which you might carry on a successful warfare, assisted by faith and a good conscience: for some having discarded the one, have entirely lost the other. Hymeneus and Alexander are of that number, whom I have deliver'd to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Don't treat a senior with harsh reproof, but exhort him as a father, and the young men, as brethren: the elder women as mothers; the younger, as sisters, with all purity. show regard to widows that are really such. read more.
if a widow has children or grand-children, let them above all things instruct their own family to be religious, and let them be grateful to their parents, for this is acceptable to God. as for the widow, who is really such, and without any assistance, let her place all her hopes in God, and be assiduous in supplication and prayer. the widow of pleasure is dead tho' she lives. these things recommend to them, that they may be without reproach. he that takes no care of his relations, especially those of his own family, has renounc'd the faith and is worse than an infidel. Let none be put upon the list of widows, but such as are at least threescore years of age, and have been married but once: such as have been recommended by their good actions, by the education of their children, by their hospitality, by their officiousness to the faithful, by relieving the afflicted, and by the practice of every virtue. as for young widows, don't admit them: for being impatient of religious restraint, they will be marry'd: for which they are much to be condemn'd, because they violate the engagements they had before enter'd into: besides, having nothing to do, they get the habit of rambling from one house to another, and are not only idling, but prattle and intermeddle, and utter what is not decent. I enjoin therefore the young women to marry, to detest abortion, to govern their families, and give our enemies no handle for reproach. for some have already revolted to paganism. If any convert has widow-relations, let such relieve them, that the church may not be charged, but with the relief of such as are entirely destitute. Let the presbyters that govern well receive a double salary, especially those who are employ'd in preaching and instructing. for the scripture says, "thou shalt not muzzle the ox, when he treads the corn." and, "the labourer is worthy of his reward." don't receive any accusation against a pastor, but upon the deposition of two or three witnesses. Those that transgress reprove in publick, to strike a terror in the rest. I conjure you before God, before our Lord Jesus Christ, and his chosen angels, to observe these rules without prepossession and partiality. Don't be hasty to ordain any man: and be not accessory to the faults of others: preserve your own integrity.

For this I was establish'd the herald, the apostle, and doctor of the Gentiles. this has drawn upon me the evils I suffer. yet I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have confided, and I am persuaded he is able to keep what I have committed to him against that day.
