Thematic Bible: The duties of a deacon

The deacons should likewise be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of base gain, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. (And let these also first be proved, then let them take the office of deacons, if they be found blameless.) read more.
And their wives likewise grave, not slanderers, sober, and faithful in all things. Let the deacons too be husbands of one wife only, governing their children and their own houses well. For they, that discharge the office of a deacon well, gain to themselves a good degree of honor, and much freedom in promoting the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
