1 Timothy 3:6-11

6not a novice, lestG3361 being puffed up he fallG1706 into the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228.

7Moreover he must have goodG2570 testimonyG3141 from them that are without; lestG3361 he fallG1706 into reproachG3680 and the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.

8DeaconsG1249 in like manner must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to muchG4183 wineG3631, not greedy of filthy lucre;

9holdingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 in a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.

10And let these alsoG2532 firstG4413 beG1510 proved; then let them serveG1247 as deacons, if they beG1510 blamelessG410.

11WomenG1135 in like manner must be grave, not slanderersG1228, temperate, faithfulG4103 in all thingsG3956.
