1 Timothy 3:8-10
New English Translation

8 Deacons likewise must be dignified,[a] not two-faced,[b] not given to excessive drinking,[c] not greedy for gain, 9 holding to the mystery of the faith[d] with a clear conscience. 10 And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless.
