8 Deacons likewise [must be] men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,

9 [but] holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

10 These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.

11 Women [must] likewise [be] dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

12 Deacons must be husbands of [only] one wife, [and] good managers of [their] children and their own households.

13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
