7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the asnare of the devil.
Qualifications of Deacons
8 Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, anot given to much wine, not greedy for money,
9 holding the1 mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.
11 Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not1 slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
