好提醒年轻的妇女爱丈夫爱儿女，

照样，他们的妻子（“他们的妻子”可解作“女执事”）也要庄重，不说谗言，有节制，凡事忠心。

不要单注重外表的装饰，就如鬈头发、戴金饰、穿华丽衣服；却要在里面存着温柔安静的心灵，作不能毁坏的装饰，这在神面前是极宝贵的。因为古时仰望神的圣洁妇女，正是这样装饰自己，顺服丈夫，

照样，我也愿意女人以端正、娴淑、自律为装饰；不要以鬈发、金饰、珠宝，或名贵衣裳为装饰，却要以善行作装饰，这才配称为敬畏神的女人。

因为监督是神的管家，所以必须无可指摘、不任性、不随便动怒、不好酒、不打人、不贪不义之财；

照样，执事也必须庄重，不一口两舌，不酗酒，不贪不义之财，

请你们在主里用合乎圣徒身分的态度去接待她。无论她在什么事上有需要，请你们都帮助她；因为她曾经帮助许多人，也帮助了我。

那无依无靠独居的寡妇，她们仰望神，昼夜不住地祈求祷告。寡妇若奢侈宴乐，虽然活着也是死的。这些事你要嘱咐她们，使她们无可指摘。人若不看顾自己的人，尤其不看顾自己一家的人，就是背弃信仰，比不信的人还坏。寡妇登记，年纪必须到达六十岁，只作过一个丈夫的妻子，并且要有善行的见证：就如养育儿女，接待客旅，替圣徒洗脚，救济困苦的人，尽力行各样的善事等。

到这个时候，你们应该已经作老师了；可是你们还需要有人再把神道理的初步教导你们。你们成了只能吃奶而不能吃干粮的人！

然而有一件事我要责备你，就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别，教导和引诱我的众仆人行淫乱，吃祭过偶像的食物。

至于淫乱和任何污秽或贪心的事，在你们中间连提都不可提，才合圣徒的体统。

因为你的胃不好，而且身体常常软弱，不要单单喝水，可以稍微用点酒。
