1 Timothy 3:11-13

111Women must likewise be dignified, 2not malicious gossips, but 34temperate, faithful in all things. 125Deacons must be 6husbands of one wife, and 78good managers of their children and their own households. 13For those who have served well as deacons 9obtain for themselves a 10high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
