1 Timothy 3:8-13
Common English Bible
Servants in God’s household
8 In the same way, servants[a] in the church should be dignified, not two-faced, heavy drinkers, or greedy for money. 9 They should hold on to the faith that has been revealed with a clear conscience. 10 They should also be tested and then serve if they are without fault. 11 In the same way, women who are servants[b] in the church should be dignified and not gossip. They should be sober and faithful in everything they do. 12 Servants[c] must be faithful to their spouse and manage their children and their own households well. 13 Those who have served well gain a good standing and considerable confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
