1 Timothy 3:9-11
New Living Translation
9 They must be committed to the mystery of the faith now revealed and must live with a clear conscience. 10 Before they are appointed as deacons, let them be closely examined. If they pass the test, then let them serve as deacons.
11 In the same way, their wives[a] must be respected and must not slander others. They must exercise self-control and be faithful in everything they do.
