In all things In all these and other respects not here mentioned; showing thyself a pattern of good works Of every thing amiable and excellent; of every disposition and practice which thou enjoinest to others.

In doctrine Or in thy teaching, namely, in public; uncorruptness As to the matter of it; or without any mixture of error; gravity Or seriousness, as to the manner of delivering it; weightiness, solemnity; sound Or wholesome; speech Even in private conversation; that cannot be condemned Or found fault with on any principles of reason or religion: or, as some render it, that cannot be confuted; that he who is of the contrary part An unbeliever, or an opposer of the truth; may be ashamed Of his unbelief of, and opposition to it; having no evil thing to say of you Of thee, of the elders thy assistants, or of any, whether old or young, who are under thy care, but may be obliged, with all his prejudices, to acknowledge that thou art a worthy president of a worthy and useful society of people.
