1 Timothy 3:6-11
6He must notG3361 be a recent convertG3504, or he may become conceitedG2443G3361G5187 and fallG1706 underG1519 the same condemnationG2917 as theG3588 devilG1228. 7FurthermoreG1161G2532, he mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reputationG3141 withG575 outsidersG3588G1855, so thatG2443 he will not fallG3361G1706 intoG1519 disgraceG3680 andG2532 into the snareG3803 of theG3588 devilG1228.
8DeaconsG1249 likewiseG5615 must be dignifiedG4586, notG3361 double-tonguedG1351 or givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631 or greedy for moneyG146. 9They must holdG2192 to theG3588 mysteryG3466 of theG3588 faithG4102 withG1722 a clearG2513 conscienceG4893. 10AdditionallyG2532G1161, theyG3778 must first be testedG1381G4412. ThenG1534, if they areG1510 above reproachG410, let them serve as deaconsG1247.
11In the same wayG5615, the womenG11351 must be dignifiedG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, but temperateG3524 and faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
