1 Timothy 3:8-13 - Qualifications For Deacons

⁸ Likewise the deacons are to be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of ill gain, ⁹ having the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. ¹⁰ And let these also first be tested, then let them minister without reproach. ¹¹ Even so their wives are to be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. ¹² Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and households well. ¹³ For they having served well gain a good grade for themselves, and much boldness in the faith, those in Christ Jesus.
