1 Timothy 3:8-13

⁸Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued or given to much wine or greedy for money.

⁹They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

¹⁰Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.

¹¹In the same way, the women must be dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.

¹²A deacon must be the husband of but one wife, a good manager of his children and of his own household.

¹³For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
