for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why deacons should be the kind of people that Paul has described in 3:8–12.

Alternate translation: “They should strive to be that kind of people, since” or “Here is why they should do those things:”

Alternate translation: “the deacons who have served” (2) both to the deacons and to the overseers, whom he has discussed in 3:1–12. Alternate translation: “the overseers and the deacons who have served”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
