¹⁰ for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

⁷ The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with `them', according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel -- to the wife -- imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

¹³ Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

¹⁹ the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them;

¹⁸ and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,

⁸ and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

²³ and all, whatever ye may do -- out of soul work -- as to the Lord, and not to men,

² it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach,

³ not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,

⁴ his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity,

⁵ (and if any one his own house `how' to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)

⁴ And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.
