Canon 1

On the prohibition of an elder from marrying and his transfer to the category of repentant for fornication or adultery.
If a presbyter marries, he should be removed (μετατίθεσθαι) from his position; if he commits fornication or adultery, he should be expelled completely and brought to repentance.
Greek original
Πρεσβύτερος, ἐὰν γήμῃ, τῆς τάξεως αὐτὸν μετατίθεσθαι· ἐὰν δὲ πορνεύσῃ, ἢ μοιχεύσῃ, ἐξωθεῖσθαι αὐτὸν τέλεον, καὶ ἄγεσθαι εἰς μετάνοιαν.
