| 1Tim3: 8-13 | 003:008 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given
to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
003:009 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 003:010 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 003:011 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 003:012 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 003:013 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. |

| Appointed to task | Acts 6:5-6 | 006:005 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen,
a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and
Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
006:006 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. |
