1 Timothy 3:11-13
English Standard Version
11 (A)Their wives likewise[a] must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, (B)faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons each be (C)the husband of one wife, (D)managing their children and their own households well. 13 For (E)those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
