5 (For if a man knows not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them who are outside; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of dishonest gain;
9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be tested; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be serious, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
