1 Timothy 3:8-13 - Qualifications For Deacons
8 Likewise the deacons must be serious, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not desirous of filthy gain: Holding fast the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 9 And let these be proved first, 10 then let them minister, being found blameless. 11 In like manner their wives must be serious, not slanderers, vigilant, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree and much boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
