4. πάντα οὖν ὑμῖν μετ’ εὐταξίας ἐπιτελείσθω ἐν Χριστῷ· οἱ λαϊκοὶ τοῖς διακόνοις ὑποτασσέσθωσαν, οἱ διάκονοι τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις, οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ, ὁ ἐπίσκοπος τῷ Χριστῷ, ὡς αὐτὸς τῷ πατρί. 5. καθά με ἀνεπαύσατε, ἀδελφοί, καὶ ὑμᾶς Ἰησοῦς ὁ Χριστός. ἀπόντα με καὶ παρόντα ἠγαπήσατε· ἀμείψεται ὑμᾶς ὁ θεός, δι’ ὃν ταῦτα εἰς τὸν δέσμιον αὐτοῦ ἐνδείξασθε. εἰ γὰρ καὶ μὴ εἰμι ἱκανός, ἀλλὰ τὸ τῆς προθυμίας ὑμῶν μέγα. ὁ τιμῶν γὰρ προφήτην εἰς ὄνομα προφήτου μισθὸν προφήτου λήψεται· δηλονότι καὶ ὁ τιμῶν δέσμιον Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μαρτύρων λήψεται μισθόν.
