1 Timothy 3:8-12
Christian Standard Bible
8 Deacons,(A) likewise, should be worthy of respect, not hypocritical, not drinking a lot of wine, not greedy for money, 9 holding the mystery of the faith(B) with a clear conscience.(C) 10 They must also be tested first; if they prove blameless, then they can serve as deacons. 11 Wives,[a](D) likewise, should be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled,(E) faithful in everything. 12 Deacons are to be husbands of one wife, managing their children and their own households competently.
