'Deacons' in the Bible
On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and we went to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven [deacons], and stayed with him.
Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed),To all the saints (God’s people) in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, including the overseers and deacons:
Deacons likewise must be men worthy of respect [honorable, financially ethical, of good character], not double-tongued [speakers of half-truths], not addicted to wine, not greedy for dishonest gain,
These men must first be tested; then if they are found to be blameless and beyond reproach [in their Christian lives], let them serve as deacons.
Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.
For those who have served well as deacons gain a high standing [having a good reputation among the congregation], and great confidence in the faith which is [founded on and centered] in Christ Jesus.
