1 Timothy 3:7–13

Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,

holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
