*
Likewise deacons must be reverent ,
not double-tongued ,
not given to much wine ,
not greedy for money ,
*
holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience .
*
But let these also first be tested ;
then let them serve as deacons ,
being found blameless .
*
Likewise ,
their wives must be reverent ,
not slanderers ,
temperate ,
faithful in all things .
*
Let deacons be the husbands of one wife ,
ruling their children and their own houses well .
*
For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus .
*
These things I write to you ,
though I hope to come to you shortly ;
*
but if I am delayed ,
I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God ,
which is the church of the living God ,
the pillar and ground of the truth .
