10 And (A)let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. 11 (B)Their wives likewise[a] must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, (C)faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons each be (D)the husband of one wife, (E)managing their children and their own households well.
