1 Timoteo 3:10

10 E anche questi siano prima provati; poi assumano l’ufficio di diaconi se sono irreprensibili.

1 Timoteo 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 3:10

And let these also first be proved
Not that they should be tried in any part of the deacon's office, to see how capable they are of performing it; but their internal and external characters are to be looked into and examined, and if they appear, to be right, then they are to be approved of, chosen and called unto, and invested with the office:

then let them use the office of a deacon;
let them be employed and minister in the several parts and branches of that office:

being found blameless;
not without sin, but free from any gross and enormous one; not before God, but in the sight of men; (See Gill on 1 Timothy 3:2).

1 Timoteo 3:10 In-Context

8 Parimente i diaconi debbono esser dignitosi, non doppi in parole, non proclivi a troppo vino, non avidi di illeciti guadagni;

9 uomini che ritengano il mistero della fede in pura coscienza.

10 E anche questi siano prima provati; poi assumano l’ufficio di diaconi se sono irreprensibili.

11 Parimente siano le donne dignitose, non maldicenti, sobrie, fedeli in ogni cosa.

12 I diaconi siano mariti di una sola moglie, e governino bene i loro figliuoli e le loro famiglie.
