Ye husbands, love your wives; and ye wives, your husbands

‹ Chapter 8 Chapter 10 ›

.

Ye

children

,

reverence

your

parents

.

Ye

parents

,

“

bring

up

your

children

in

the

nurture

and

admonition

of

the

Lord

.

”

Honour

those

[

who

continue

]

in

virginity

,

as

the

priestesses

of

Christ

;

and

the

widows

[

that

persevere

]

in

gravity

of

behaviour

,

as

the

altar

of

God

.

Ye

servants

,

wait

upon

your

masters

with

[

respectful

]

fear

.

Ye

masters

,

issue

orders

to

your

servants

with

tenderness

.

Let

no

one

among

you

be

idle

;

for

idleness

is

the

mother

of

want

.

I

do

not

enjoin

these

things

as

being

a

person

of

any

consequence

,

although

I

am

in

bonds

[

for

Christ

]

;

but

as

a

brother

,

I

put

you

in

mind

of

them

.

The

Lord

be

with

you

!
