1 Timothy 3:8-13
8 aDeacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, bor addicted to much wine cor fond of sordid gain, 9 abut holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 aThese men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach. 11 Women must likewise be dignified, anot malicious gossips, but btemperate, faithful in all things. 12 aDeacons must be bhusbands of only one wife, and cgood managers of their children and their own households. 13 For those who have served well as deacons aobtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
