1 Timothy 3:10-12
New Testament for Everyone
10 They must first be tested; then, when they have been found without reproach, they may serve as deacons. 11 The womenfolk, too, should be serious-minded, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things. 12 Deacons should have only one wife, and should be well in charge of their children and their own households.
