1 Timothy 3:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ In the same way, the women^[a] must have the respect of other people. They must not be women who repeat evil gossip about other people. They must have self-control and be women who can be trusted in everything. ¹² Deacons must have only one wife. They must be good leaders of their children and their own families. ¹³ Those who serve well as deacons are making an honorable place for themselves. And they will feel very sure of their faith in Christ Jesus.
