1 Timothy 3:8-13

Darby Translation

⁸ Ministers, in like manner, grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not seeking gain by base means,

⁹ holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

¹⁰ And let these be first proved, then let them minister, being without charge [against them].

¹¹ [The] women in like manner grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

¹² Let [the] ministers be husbands of one wife, conducting [their] children and their own houses well:

¹³ for those who shall have ministered well obtain for themselves a good degree, and much boldness in faith which [is] in Christ Jesus.
