1 Timoteo 3:10

10 Or questi ancora sieno prima provati, poi servano, 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 bisogna che i diaconi sieno gravi, non doppi in parole, non dati a molto vino, non disonestamente cupidi del guadagno.

9 Che ritengano il misterio della fede in pura coscienza.

10 Or questi ancora sieno prima provati, poi servano, se sono irreprensibili.

11 Simigliantemente sieno le lor mogli gravi, non calunniatrici, sobrie, fedeli in ogni cosa.

12 I diaconi sien mariti d’una sola moglie, governando bene i figliuoli, e le proprie famiglie.
