1 Timothy 3:13
I Timothy 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well. These demands for the office are high, for those who exercise it well purchase themselves a good degree. Secure a high position in the church and in God's favor. And great boldness in the faith. To fill these duties well gives strength, and often fits for higher duties. Stephen (Acts 6:5-10) and Philip (Acts 6:5 8:5,35,40 21:8) became evangelists.
