54:003:010 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the
           office of a deacon, being found blameless.

54:003:011 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober,
           faithful in all things.

54:003:012 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their
           children and their own houses well.

54:003:013 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase
           to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith
           which is in Christ Jesus.

54:003:014 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee
           shortly: 

54:003:015 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest
           to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of
           the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

54:003:016 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:  God
           was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
           angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
           received up into glory.

54:004:001 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times
           some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
           spirits, and doctrines of devils;

54:004:002 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared
           with a hot iron;

54:004:003 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,
           which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of
           them which believe and know the truth.

54:004:004 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused,
           if it be received with thanksgiving: 

54:004:005 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

54:004:006 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou
           shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the
           words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast
           attained.

54:004:007 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself
           rather unto godliness.

54:004:008 For bodily exercise profiteth little:  but godliness is
           profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that
           now is, and of that which is to come.

54:004:009 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

54:004:010 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we
           trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
           specially of those that believe.

54:004:011 These things command and teach.

54:004:012 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the
           believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in
           faith, in purity.
