1 Timotheus 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 Timotheus 3:10 In-Context

8 Desgleichen die Diener sollen ehrbar sein, nicht zweizßngig, nicht Weinsäufer, nicht unehrliche Hantierungen treiben;
9 die das Geheimnis des Glaubens in reinem Gewissen haben.
10 Und diese lasse man zuvor versuchen; darnach lasse man sie dienen, wenn sie unsträflich sind.
11 Desgleichen ihre Weiber sollen ehrbar sein, nicht Lästerinnen, nßchtern, treu in allen Dingen.
12 Die Diener laß einen jeglichen sein eines Weibes Mann, die ihren Kindern wohl vorstehen und ihren eigenen Häusern.
