1
Appoint,
therefore, for yourselves, bishops and deacons worthy of the
Lord, men meek, and not lovers of money, and truthful and proved; for they also
render to you the service of prophets and teachers. Therefore do not despise
them, for they are your honored ones, together with the prophets and teachers.
2
And reprove one another, not in anger, but in peace, as you have it in the
Gospel. But to anyone that acts amiss against another, let no one speak, nor let
him hear anything from you until he repents.
3
But your prayers and alms and all
your deeds so do, as you have it in the Gospel of our Lord.
