1 Timothy 3:8-10

New Catholic Bible

Qualifications of Deacons. ⁸ Similarly, deacons must exhibit a sense of dignity, not indulging in double-talk or excessive consumption of wine, and not being greedy. ⁹ They must hold fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. ¹⁰ Let them first be tested. They can be appointed as deacons only if they are beyond reproach.
