1 Timothy 3:8-13 - Qualifications For Deacons
8 Likewise let the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not fond of filthy lucre; 9 having the testimony of faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let them also first be proven; then let them minister the office of deacon, being irreproachable. 11 Likewise let their wives be grave, not tattlers, modest, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses beautifully. 13 For those having ministered the office of a deacon beautifully procure to themselves beautiful progress, and much boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
