Appoint for yourselves therefore bishops and deacons worthy of the Lord, men who are meek and not lovers of money, and true and approved; for unto you they also perform the service of the prophets and teachers.
2Therefore despise them not; for they are your honorable men along with the prophets and teachers.
3And reprove one another, not in anger but in peace, as ye find in the Gospel; and let no one speak to any that has gone wrong towards his neighbor, neither let him hear a word from you, until he repent.
4But your prayers and your almsgiving and all your deeds so do ye as ye find it in the Gospel of our Lord.
