13. and at the same time also, they learn [to be] idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;
14. I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;

19. Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.
20. Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;
