Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling {\i their} children and their own houses well.
The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;
Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to {\i the will of} God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
