Wycliffe(i)
8 Also it bihoueth dekenes to be chast, not double tungid, not youun myche to wyn, not suynge foul wynnyng;
9 that han the mysterie of feith in clene conscience.
10 But be thei preued first, and mynystre so, hauynge no cryme.
11 Also it bihoueth wymmen to be chast, not bacbitinge, sobre, feithful in alle thingis.
12 Dekenes be hosebondis of o wijf; whiche gouerne wel her sones and her housis.
13 For thei that mynystren wel, schulen gete a good degre to hem silf, and myche triste in the feith, that is in Crist Jhesu.
14 Sone Timothe, Y write to thee these thingis, hopinge that Y schal come soon to thee;
15 but if Y tarie, that thou wite, hou it bihoueth thee to lyue in the hous of God, that is the chirche of lyuynge God, a pilere and sadnesse of treuthe.
