¹³ For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

⁴ For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

¹⁰ And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

¹³ For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
