這樣，她們就能教導年輕的婦女愛丈夫、愛兒女、

執事的妻子也要品行端正，不搬弄是非，為人節制，做事忠心。

你們不要注重外表的妝飾，像編頭髮、戴金飾或穿華麗的衣服，要以溫柔、嫺靜這些永不褪色的內在美為妝飾，這是上帝所看重的。從前那些仰賴上帝的聖潔婦女，都是以這些來妝飾自己，並順服自己的丈夫，

我願女人衣著樸素端莊，不靠髮型、珠寶金飾或名貴衣服來妝飾自己，要有良好的行為，這樣才配稱為敬畏上帝的婦女。

身為上帝的管家，作監督的必須無可指責，不傲慢，不暴躁，不酗酒，不好鬥，不貪財。

同樣，做執事的也要品行端正，說話誠實，不好酒，不貪財，

請你們因為在主裡的關係，照著做聖徒的本分接待她。無論她有什麼需要，請你們幫助她，因為她幫助過许多人，也幫助過我。

真正有需要、無依無靠的寡婦仰賴上帝的幫助，晝夜不住地禱告祈求。但貪圖享受的寡婦雖然活著，卻已經死了。你當教導眾人這些事，好叫他們無可指責。誰不照顧自己的親屬，尤其是不照顧自己的家人，就是違背真道，比不信的人還壞。列入名冊的寡婦必須年滿六十歲，在婚姻上從一而終，並且在善事上有好名聲，如教養兒女、接待外人、服侍聖徒、救助困苦、竭力做各種善事。

按你們學習的時間來算，你們本該做別人的老師了，可惜你們還需要別人向你們傳授上帝話語的基本道理，成了不能吃乾糧、只能吃奶的人。

可是有一件事我要責備你，就是你容許那自稱是先知的婦人耶洗別教導我的眾奴僕，引誘他們淫亂、吃祭過偶像的食物。

一切淫亂、污穢或貪婪的事在你們當中連提都不要提，才合乎聖徒的身分。

你的胃不好，經常生病，不要只喝水，要稍微喝一點酒。
