1 Timothy 3:8-13

1 Timothy 3:8-13 CSB

Deacons,  likewise, should be worthy of respect, not hypocritical, not drinking a lot of wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith  with a clear conscience.  They must also be tested first; if they prove blameless, then they can serve as deacons. Wives,  , likewise, should be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled,  faithful in everything. Deacons are to be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households competently. For those who have served well as deacons acquire a good standing for themselves and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
