1 Timothy 3:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ And let them also be tried and investigated and proved first; then, if they turn out to be above reproach, let them serve [as deacons].

^11 [a][The] women likewise must be worthy of respect and serious, not gossipers, but temperate and self-controlled, [thoroughly] trustworthy in all things.

¹² Let deacons be the husbands of but one wife, and let them manage [their] children and their own households well.
