INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHURCH WISE TREATMENT OF YOUNG AND OLD

If anyone fails to provide for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he has denied the faith [by disregarding its precepts] and is worse than an unbeliever [who fulfills his obligation in these matters].

A GOOD SERVANT OF CHRIST JESUS

Pay close attention to yourself [concentrate on your personal development] and to your teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.

REJECT FALSE AND FOOLISH TEACHING

For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR OVERSEERS FITNESS FOR CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP

This is a faithful and trustworthy saying: if any man [eagerly] seeks the office of overseer (bishop, superintendent), he desires an excellent task.

PRAYER AND MODEST ADORNING PRAY FOR ALL PEOPLE

For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus.
