1 Timothy / Question
Question source
1 Timothy
Paul says deacons must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, and not greedy for dishonest gain. He adds that they must hold the faith with a clear conscience and be tested first. See 1 Timothy 3:8–10.
8Deacons, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money;
9holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10Let them also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, if they are blameless.
