1 Timothy 3:8-13 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
8
Deacons likewise must be serious, not double-tongued, not indulging in much wine, not greedy for money;
9
they must hold fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
10
And let them first be tested; then, if they prove themselves blameless, let them serve as deacons.
11
Women a likewise must be serious, not slanderers, but temperate, faithful in all things.
12
Let deacons be married only once, b and let them manage their children and their households well;
13
for those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
