1 Timothy 3:7-15 And he must also have a good name from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And he must also have a good name from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil. ⁸ ^(2:2) The deacons in like manner ought to be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not devoted to base gain, ⁹ having the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. ¹⁰ And let these be proved first, then let them serve, being found blameless. ¹¹ The women in like manner must be grave, not slanderers, circumspect, faithful in all things. ¹² Let the deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling well their children and their own houses. ¹³ For they who exercise the deaconship well, procure for themselves an honorable standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ ^(2:3) These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly; ¹⁵ but if I delay, 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 foundation of the truth.
