1 Timothy 3:8

King James Version

⁸Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1 Timothy 3:8

New International Version

⁸In the same way, deacons^[a]^(A) are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine,^(B) and not pursuing dishonest gain.

1 Timothy 3:8 The word deacons refers here to Christians designated to serve with the overseers/elders of the church in a variety of ways; similarly in verse 12; and in Romans 16:1 and Phil. 1:1.

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

¹²A deacon must be faithful to his wife^(A) and must manage his children and his household well.^(B)
