Flee evil practices; rather, speak about these matters. Speak to my sisters, telling them to love the Lord and to be content with their husbands in flesh and spirit. Likewise command my brothers in the name of Jesus Christ to love their wives as the Lord loves the Church.
If anyone is able to remain in chastity for the honor of the flesh of the Lord, let him remain without boasting. If he boasts, he is lost; and if it becomes known beyond the bishop, he is corrupted. It is fitting for men and women who marry to make their union with the approval of the bishop, so that the marriage may be according to the Lord and not according to desire. Let everything be done for the honor of God.
