And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction with joy from the Holy Spirit; so that ye became an example to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Beloved, I exhort you, as sojourners and strangers, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your manner of life among the gentiles honorable; that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

or to governors, as being sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and the praise of those who do well. For so is the will of God, that with welldoing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as servants of God. Honor all men; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and considerate, but also to the perverse. For this is acceptable, if any one on account of a sense of duty to God endureth hardships, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye are beaten for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently [it is glory]; for this is acceptable with God. For to this ye were called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps; who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously; who himself bore our sins in his own body on the cross, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were going astray like sheep; but ye have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

True is the saying: If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, discreet, orderly, hospitable, apt in teaching; not given to wine, not a striker, but forbearing, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money; read more.
presiding well over his own house, having his children in subjection with all propriety; for if a man knoweth not how to preside over his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God not a new convert, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the Devil; moreover he must also have a good report from them that are without, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil. Deacons in like manner must be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of base gain, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they are without reproach. The women in like manner must be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
