Qualifications for Deacons
8 Deacons likewise [must be] dignified, not double-tongued [or] given to much wine [or] greedy for money. 9 They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
11 In the same way, [the] women[fn] [must be] dignified, not slanderers, [but] temperate [and] faithful in all things.
12 A deacon must be [the] husband of but one wife, a good manager [of his] children and [of his] own household. 13 For those who have served well [as deacons] acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in [the] faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.
3:11 Or their wives
