Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
1 Timothy 3:9
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1 Timothy 3:10
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
1 Timothy 3:11
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
1 Timothy 3:12
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
