这样，她们就能教导年轻的妇女爱丈夫、爱儿女、

执事的妻子也要品行端正，不搬弄是非，为人节制，做事忠心。

你们不要注重外表的妆饰，像编头发、戴金饰或穿华丽的衣服，要以温柔、娴静这些永不褪色的内在美为妆饰，这是上帝所看重的。从前那些仰赖上帝的圣洁妇女，都是以这些来妆饰自己，并顺服自己的丈夫，

我愿女人衣着朴素端庄，不靠发型、珠宝金饰或名贵衣服来妆饰自己，要有良好的行为，这样才配称为敬畏上帝的妇女。

身为上帝的管家，做监督的必须无可指责，不傲慢，不暴躁，不酗酒，不好斗，不贪财。

同样，做执事的也要品行端正，说话诚实，不好酒，不贪财，

请你们因为在主里的关系，照着做圣徒的本分接待她。无论她有什么需要，请你们帮助她，因为她帮助过许多人，也帮助过我。

真正有需要、无依无靠的寡妇仰赖上帝的帮助，昼夜不住地祷告祈求。但贪图享受的寡妇虽然活着，却已经死了。你当教导众人这些事，好叫他们无可指责。谁不照顾自己的亲属，尤其是不照顾自己的家人，就是违背真道，比不信的人还坏。列入名册的寡妇必须年满六十岁，在婚姻上从一而终，并且在善事上有好名声，如教养儿女、接待外人、服侍圣徒、救助困苦、竭力做各种善事。

按你们学习的时间来算，你们本该做别人的老师了，可惜你们还需要别人向你们传授上帝话语的基本道理，成了不能吃干粮、只能吃奶的人。

可是有一件事我要责备你，就是你容许那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的众奴仆，引诱他们淫乱、吃祭过偶像的食物。

一切淫乱、污秽或贪婪的事在你们当中连提都不要提，才合乎圣徒的身份。

你的胃不好，经常生病，不要只喝水，要稍微喝一点酒。
