1 Timothy 3:2-13

2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober minded, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;1 3Not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;2 4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5(For if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.3 7Moreover he must have a good report of them who are outside the church ; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8Likewisemust the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money; 9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober minded, faithful in all things. 12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.4
