" But the love of money is the root of all
evils." ' Knowing, therefore, that "as we brought
nothing into the world, so we can carry nothing
out," ^ let us arm ourselves with the armour of
righteousness ; ^ and let us teach, first of all, our-
selves to walk in the commandments of the Lord.
Next, [teach] your wives [to walk] in the faith
given to them, and in love and purity tenderly
loving their own husbands in all truth, and loving
all [others] equally in all chastity ; and to train
up their children in the knowledge and fear of
God. Teach the widows to be discreet as re-
spects the faith of the Lord, praying continually ^
for all, being far from all slandering, evil-speak-
ing, false-witnessing, love of money, and every
kind of evil ; knowing that they are the altar s
of God, that He clearly perceives all things, and
that nothing is hid from Him, neither reasonings,
nor reflections, nor any one of the secret things
of the heart.
