¹⁰ For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.

⁷ Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with `your wives' according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.

¹³ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

¹⁸ And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

⁸ But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;

²³ whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;

² The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

³ no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;

⁴ one that ruleth well his own house, having `his' children in subjection with all gravity;

⁵ (but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

⁴ And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.
