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.
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
