1 Timothy 3:10-13
-
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
-
11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
-
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
-
13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
