1 Timothy 3:8 BBE

⁶  Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

⁷  And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.

⁸  Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;

⁹  Keeping the secret of the faith in a heart free from sin.

¹⁰  And let these first be put to the test; then let them become Deacons if there is nothing against them.
