kjv 1Timothy:3:3-10 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Not given to wine ,
no striker ,
not greedy of filthy lucre ;
but patient ,
not a brawler ,
not covetous ;
*
One that ruleth well his own house ,
having his children in subjection with all gravity ;
* (
For if a man know not how to rule his own house ,
how shall he take care of the church of God ?)
*
Not a novice ,
lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil .
*
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without ;
lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil .
*
Likewise must the deacons be grave ,
not doubletongued ,
not given to much wine ,
not greedy of filthy lucre ;
*
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience .
*
And let these also first be proved ;
then let them use the office of a deacon ,
being found blameless .
