[7] Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. [8] Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, [9] holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. [10] But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.
