1 Timothy 3:8-13

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ ¶ Likewise the deacons must be honest, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of dishonest gain;

⁹ holding the mystery of the faith together with a pure conscience.

¹⁰ And let these also first be proved; then let them minister, if they are blameless.

¹¹ The wives likewise are to be honest, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

¹² Let the deacons be the husbands of only one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

¹³ For those that minister well purchase to themselves a good degree and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
