54:002:002 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead
           a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

54:002:003 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
           Saviour;

54:002:004 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
           knowledge of the truth.

54:002:005 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,
           the man Christ Jesus;

54:002:006 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due
           time.

54:002:007 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak
           the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles
           in faith and verity.

54:002:008 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy
           hands, without wrath and doubting.

54:002:009 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
           apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided
           hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

54:002:010 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good
           works.

54:002:011 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

54:002:012 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
           the man, but to be in silence.

54:002:013 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

54:002:014 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in
           the transgression.

54:002:015 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they
           continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

54:003:001 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop,
           he desireth a good work.

54:003:002 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,
           vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt
           to teach;

54:003:003 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but
           patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

54:003:004 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
           subjection with all gravity;

54:003:005 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he
           take care of the church of God?)

54:003:006 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the
           condemnation of the devil.

54:003:007 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without;
           lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

54:003:008 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not
           given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

54:003:009 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
