1 Timothy 3:9-11
Common English Bible
9 They should hold on to the faith that has been revealed with a clear conscience. 10 They should also be tested and then serve if they are without fault. 11 In the same way, women who are servants[a] in the church should be dignified and not gossip. They should be sober and faithful in everything they do.
