10 et hii autem probentur primum et sic ministrent nullum crimen habentes

1 Timothy 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 Timothy 3:10 In-Context

8 diaconos similiter pudicos non bilingues non multo vino deditos non turpe lucrum sectantes
9 habentes mysterium fidei in conscientia pura
10 et hii autem probentur primum et sic ministrent nullum crimen habentes
11 mulieres similiter pudicas non detrahentes sobrias fideles in omnibus
12 diacones sint unius uxoris viri qui filiis suis bene praesunt et suis domibus
