[1] Χῆραι μὴ ἀμελείσθωσαν: μετὰ τὸν κύριον σὺ αὐτῶν φροντιστὴς ἔσο. μηδὲν ἄνευ γνώμης σου γινέσθω μηδὲ σὺ ἄνευ θεοῦ τι πρᾶσσε, ὅπερ οὐδὲ πράσσεις: εὐστάθει.

[2] πυκνότερον συναγωγαὶ γινέσθωσαν: ἐξ ὀνόματος πάντας ζήτει. ¹

[3] δούλους καὶ δούλας μὴ ὑπερηφάνει: ἀλλὰ μηδὲ αὐτοὶ φυσιούσθωσαν, ἀλλ̓ εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ πλέον δουλευέτωσαν, ἵνα κρείττονος ἐλευθερίας ἀπὸ θεοῦ τύχωσιν. μὴ ἐράτωσαν ἀπὸ τοῦ κοινοῦ ἐλευθεροῦσθαι, ἵνα μὴ δοῦλοι εὑρεθῶσιν ἐπιθυμίας.

The Epistles of Saint Ignatius Perseus (Ignatius of Antioch. The Apostolic Fathers, Volume 1. Lake, Kirsopp, translator. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1912.) — 7.4 focus

[1] Let not the widows be neglected. Be yourself their protector after the Lord. Let nothing be done¹ without your approval, and do nothing yourself without God, as indeed you do nothing; stand fast.

[2] Let the meetings be more numerous. Seek all by their name.

[3] Do not be haughty to slaves, either men or women; yet do not let them be puffed up, but let them rather endure slavery to the glory of God, that they may obtain a better freedom from God. Let them not desire to be set free at the Church’s expense, that they be not found the slaves of lust.
