| Phil.1.1 | Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: |
| 1Tim.3.8 | Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. |
| 1Tim.3.10 | And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. |
| 1Tim.3.12 | Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. |
| 1Tim.3.13 | For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. |
