But be they proved first, and minister they so, having no crime, [or great sin].
which also shall confirm you into the end without crime, [or great sin], in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
in the body of his flesh by death, to have you holy, and unwemmed, and without reproof before him.
For they that minister well, shall get a good degree to themselves, and much trust in the faith, that is in Christ Jesus.
Therefore it behooveth a bishop to be without reproof, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, chaste, virtuous, holding hospitality, a teacher;
not new converted to the faith, lest he be borne up into pride, and fall into [the] doom of the devil.
Put thou hands to no man, neither anon commune thou with other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste. [Put thou hands to no man soon, neither commune thou with other men’s sins. Keep thyself chaste.]
Most dear brethren, do not ye believe to each spirit, but prove ye the spirits, if they be of God; for many false prophets went out into the world.
