1 Timothy 3:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ Their wives^[a] must also be serious. They must not be gossips, but instead be stable and trustworthy in everything. ¹² Deacons^[b] must be husbands of one wife^[c] and must manage their children and their families well. ¹³ Those who serve well in ministry^[d] gain an excellent reputation for themselves and will have great assurance by their faith in the Messiah^[e] Jesus.
