An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism by Joseph Stump
page 31 of 222 (13%)
O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for
ever. He giveth food to all flesh; He giveth to the beast his food, and
to the young ravens which cry. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that
tear Him; in those that hope in His mercy,

PP _Then shall be said the_ Lord's Prayer, _and after that this_ Prayer:

We give thanks, to Thee, O God. Our Father, for all Thy benefits,
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who with Thee liveth and reigneth, for
ever and ever. Amen.

TABLE OF DUTIES.

_Or, certain passages of the Scriptures, selected for various orders and
conditions of men, wherein their respective duties are set forth._

BISHOPS, PASTORS, AND PREACHERS.

A bishop must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of
good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no
striker, not greedy of filthy lucre: but patient, not a brawler, not
covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
subjection with all gravity; not a novice, but holding fast the faithful
word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both
to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.--I Tim. 3:2-6; Tit. 1:9.
