Qualifications for Deacons
8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, and not greedy for sordid gain. 9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 They must first be tested; if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons. 11 Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded and faithful in all things. 12 A deacon must be the husband of one wife and must lead his children and his own household well. 13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain a good standing for themselves along with great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
