Правило 20

That the readers of the African Church, upon reaching adulthood, must marry, or take a vow of virginity forever.
It was desirable that readers reaching adolescence should be encouraged either to marry or to take a vow of abstinence.
Greek original
Καὶ ὥστε τοὺς ἀναγνώστας, εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἥβης ἐρχομένους ἀναγκάζεσθαι, ἢ συμβίους ἀγαγέσθαι, ἢ ἐγκράτειαν ὁμολογεῖν.[1]
