As for you, teach nothing but what is agreeable to sound doctrine: advise the aged to be prudent, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience: the aged women likewise, to behave with sanctity of manners, not false accusers, not given to tipling, read more.
but to lectures on virtue, that they may teach the young women prudence, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, good oeconimists, beneficent, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. the young men likewise exhort to be modest. In all things show yourself a pattern of virtue: in teaching shewing uncorruptness, gravity; let your doctrine be sound and inoffensive, that your opponents may be ashamed, and have nothing that is ill to say of us. Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters, to be entirely obsequious without grumbling. not to pilfer, but to show the strictest fidelity; that they may do honour to the doctrine of God our saviour in all things. For the divine savour has display'd its salutary effects to all mankind: teaching us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and to practise temperance, justice and piety in this present world; in expectation of that desirable happiness, the glorious appearance of the supreme God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and qualify us to be his peculiar people, passionately affected to virtue. these things remonstrate: recommend and enforce with all your authority: guard yourself against all contempt.

In a word, live all of you in perfect agreement and sympathy, be full of fraternal love, compassion, and affability. don't return evil for evil, nor calumny for calumny; on the contrary, bestow your benedictions, considering that your vocation obliges you thereto, as a means to obtain the divine blessing. " He that desires to live in prosperity, must restrain his tongue from detraction, and his lips from uttering falsehood: read more.
he must avoid vice, practise virtue, seek peace, and persevere in the enquiry. for the eyes of the Lord are upon the virtuous, and his ears attend to their prayers, but the wicked he discountenances."

those antient rebels in the time of Noah, when the divine forbearance waited, till the ark was quite finish'd, in which only eight persons were saved by means of the water. thus baptism, which corresponds to the deluge, does now save us, not as it is a cleansing from external filth, but as it is an engagement to lead a divine life, from the belief of the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

What I have explain'd to you, my brethren, is the gospel which I preached to you, which you have received, and wherein you have persisted: by which also you will be saved, if you so retain it as I preached it to you, unless you have believed without sufficient grounds.


for we are saved but by hope: but hope supposes things not yet present; for how can a man hope for what he has now in possession? but if we hope for what is yet to come, our patience does necessarily intervene.

for he that is not dispassionate is a stranger to the practice of true virtue. throw off then your vices as dregs and scum: and receive with docility that genuine doctrine, which is effectual to your salvation.

It is not necessary, my brethren, to specify the exact time: for you very well know, that the day of the Lord steals on like a thief in the night. whilst they flatter themselves with peace and safety, destruction shall fall upon them, like the pangs of a woman in travail, and they shall not escape. read more.
but you, my brethren, are too well inform'd to be surpriz'd by that day, as by a thief. you inherit the advantages of meridian light: we are not involv'd in the obscurity of night. therefore let us not sleep away our time like others, but be vigilant and temperate. they that are sober take their rest in the night, whilst they that are sots, are drunk in the night: but let us, who enjoy the light, be temperate; let us be arm'd with the breast-plate of faith and charity, and for an helmet, with the hope of salvation.


He that aspires to be a bishop, desires an office that is honourable. a bishop therefore ought to be of an unspotted character, to have but one wife, to be sober, prudent, grave, hospitable, and qualified for teaching: not given to wine or violence, but of a gentle temper, averse to contention and avarice: a master of economy, read more.
obliging his children to behave with decorum. for if a man is incapable of governing his own family, how can he take care of the church of God? nor must he be a new convert; for fear he should be elated with pride, and so involve himself in the same ruin as the devil. besides, he ought to stand fair in the opinion of unbelievers, lest he fall into disgrace, and the ambushes of the accuser. The deacons too must be grave, not double tongued, not addicted to drinking, or sordid gain, but by their integrity maintain the reverence due to the gospel. let them be first examin'd, and if they are without reproach, let them enter upon their office. their wives must be likewise grave, free from scandal, sober, and always faithful.

I add, we that are better inform'd ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not study our own pleasure. let every one of us consult the good of his neighbour to his edification. for even Christ did not consult his own satisfaction; but as it is written, "the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me." read more.

But be you attach'd to the doctrine you have learnt, with which you are intrusted, considering by whom you have been instructed: and that from your infancy you were acquainted with the sacred writings, which point you the way to salvation, by believing in Christ Jesus: for all divinely inspired writings are conducive to instruction, to conviction, to reformation, and the practice of virtue; read more.

who is so great an impostor as he, who denies that Jesus is the Christ? he is antichrist, that denies the father and the son. whosoever denieth the son, disowns the father: adhere therefore to what ye have learnt from the beginning. if you adhere to what ye have heard from the beginning, you will still persist to own both the son and the father. read more.
and this is the reward that he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written to you concerning those that would seduce you. but as the unction which ye have received from him, abides in you, you don't need any instruction: being then fully instructed by his unction, which is true and not fallacious, adhere to what that has taught you.
