1 Timothy 3:10-13

101These men must also first be tested; then have them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach. 112Women must likewise be dignified, 3not malicious gossips, but 45temperate, faithful in all things. 126Deacons must be 7husbands of one wife, and 89good managers of their children and their own households. 13For those who have served well as deacons 10obtain for themselves a 11high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
