1 Timothy 3:8-10

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁸ In the same way, the leader's helpers must be men whom people respect. They must not say one thing one time and something different another time. They must not drink too much wine. They must not try to get rich in wrong ways.

⁹ They must know God's plan and what we believe. They must do only what they know is right.

¹⁰ Try these men first. Then let them help the church people if they have done nothing wrong.
