Likewise the deacons must be grave, not double-tongued,
not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre (money), Holding the mystery of the faith in pure conscience. And let these
also first be approved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers,
sober, faithful in all things. Let the deacons be the husband of one wife, ruling their children and their house well.
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 Jesus Christ.
1 Timothy 3:8-13 KJV
