Let the deacons G1249 be the husbands G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 ruling G4291 their children G5043 and their own G2398 houses G3624 well. G2573

For I know H3045 him, that he will command H6680 his children H1121 and his household H1004 after H310 him, and they shall keep H8104 the way H1870 of the LORD, H3068 to do H6213 justice H6666 and judgment; H4941 that the LORD H3068 may bring H935 on Abraham H85 that which H834 he has spoken H1696 of him.

And if H518 it seem H1961 H5869 evil H7489 to you to serve H5647 the LORD, H3068 choose H977 you this day H3117 whom H4310 you will serve; H5647 whether H518 the gods H430 which H834 your fathers H1 served H5647 that were on the other H5676 side H5676 of the flood, H5104 or the gods H430 of the Amorites, H567 in whose H834 land H776 you dwell: H3427 but as for me and my house, H1004 we will serve H5647 the LORD. H3068

I will behave H7919 myself wisely H7919 in a perfect H8549 way. H1870 O when H4970 will you come H935 to me? I will walk H1980 within H7130 my house H1004 with a perfect H8537 heart. H3824

A fraudulent H6141 heart H3820 shall depart H5493 from me: I will not know H3045 a wicked H7451 person.

My eyes H5869 shall be on the faithful H539 of the land, H776 that they may dwell H3427 with me: he that walks H1980 in a perfect H8549 way, H1870 he shall serve H8334 me.

I will early H1242 destroy H6789 all H3605 the wicked H7563 of the land; H776 that I may cut H3772 off all H3605 wicked H205 doers H6466 from the city H5892 of the LORD. H3068

A devout G2152 man, and one that feared G5399 God G2316 with all G3956 his house, G3624 which gave G4160 much G4183 alms G1654 to the people, G2992 and prayed G1189 to God G2316 always. G1275

If G1487 any G1536 be blameless, G410 the husband G435 of one G3391 wife, G1135 having G2192 faithful G4103 children G5043 not accused G1722 G2724 of riot G810 or G2228 unruly. G506

Finally, G3063 brothers, G80 whatever G3745 things are true, G227 whatever G3745 things are honest, G4586 whatever G3745 things are just, G1342 whatever G3745 things are pure, G53 whatever G3745 things are lovely, G4375 whatever G3745 things are of good G2163 report; G2163 if G1487 there be any G1536 virtue, G703 and if G1487 there be any G1536 praise, G1868 think G3049 on these G5023 things.

That the aged G4246 men be sober, G3524 grave, G4586 temperate, G4998 sound G5198 in faith, G4102 in charity, G26 in patience. G5281

In all G3956 things showing G3930 yourself G4572 a pattern G5179 of good G2570 works: G2041 in doctrine G1319 showing soundness, G90 gravity, G4587 sincerity, G861
