Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever 15 things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced 20 themselves through with many sorrows.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
