THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

1 Timothy (Author Paul)

3:8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

3:9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

3:10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

3:11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

3:12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

3:13For 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.
