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.
