1 Timothy 3:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 You should test them first. Then, if you find that they have done nothing wrong, they can be special servants.
11 In the same way, the women[a] must have the respect of others. They must not be women who speak evil about other people. They must have self-control and be women who can be trusted in everything.
12 The men who are special servants must be faithful in marriage.[b] They must be good leaders of children and their own families.
