1 Timothy 3:8-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Deacons likewise must be dignified, not insincere, not devoted to much wine, not fond of dishonest gain,

9. holding the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience,

10. and these also must be tested first; then let them serve if they are above reproach.

11. The wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderous, temperate, faithful in all things.

12. Deacons must be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.
