1 Timothy 3:8 CPDV

⁶  He must not be a new convert, lest, being elated by pride, he may fall under the sentence of the devil.

⁷  And it is necessary for him also to have good testimony from those who are outside, so that he may not fall into disrepute and the snare of the devil.

⁸  Similarly, deacons must be chaste, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not pursuing tainted profit,

⁹  holding to the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

¹⁰  And these things should be proven first, and then they may minister, being without offense.
