8 Deacons in like manner 'must be' grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they be blameless.
11 Women in like manner 'must be' grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
12 Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling 'their' children and their own houses well.
