3:1 Faithful is the saying, If a man seeketh the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 3:2 The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3:3 no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; 3:4 one that ruleth well his own house, having `his' children in subjection with all gravity; 3:5 (but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 3:6 not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 3:7 Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 3:8 Deacons in like manner `must be' grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 3:9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they be blameless. 3:11 Women in like manner `must be' grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 3:12 Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling `their' children and their own houses well. 3:13 For they that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 4:13 Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 4:15 Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all. 4:16 Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee. 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren: 5:2 the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. 5:3 Honor widows that are widows indeed.  5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire. 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at `the mouth of' two or three witnesses. 5:20 Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. 5:21 I charge `thee' in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. 5:22 Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.  6:2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort. 6:3 If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, `even' the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 6:4 he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 6:5 wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain: 6:7 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; 6:8 but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. 6:9 But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. 6:13 I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession; 6:14 that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
