Chapter 15
15.1
Therefore appoint for yourselves overseers and deacons who are worthy of the Lord: men who are gentle, not lovers of money, truthful and tested. For they too carry out for you the ministry of the prophets and teachers.
15.2
Do not disregard them, for, together with the prophets and teachers, they are the ones honoured among you.
15.3
Correct one another, not in anger but in peace, as instructed in the gospel. If anyone wrongs another, no one is to speak to that person, and that person is not to hear anything from you until they repent.
15.4
In your prayers, your almsgiving and all your deeds, act as directed in the gospel of our Lord.
