1 Timothy 3:7-13 He muste also be well reported of amonge them whiche are wythout forth, lest he fall into rebuke and snare of the euyll speaker.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ He muste also be well reported of amonge them whiche are wythout forth, lest he fall into rebuke and snare of the euyll speaker. ⁸ Lykewyse muste the Deacons be honest, not double tonged, not geuen vnto much drinkynge, neyther vnto fylthy lucre: ⁹ but hauing the mystery of the fayth in a pure conscience. ¹⁰ And let them fyrste be proued, and then lette them mynyster, yf they be founde fautlesse. ¹¹ Euen so muste theyr wyues be honeste, not euyll speakers, but sober and faythfull in all thynges. ¹² Let the deacons be the husbandes of one wyfe, and suche as rule theyr chyldren well, and theyr owne housholdes. ¹³ For they that mynyster wel, get them selues good degree and greate lybertye in the faythe whiche is in Christ Iesu.
