1 Timothy 3:7-11 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

7. Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with those outside, so that he will not fall into disgrace and the devil’s trap.

8. Servant-leaders likewise must be dignified, not double-speaking, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain.

9. They must keep hold of the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

10. Also let them first be tested—then let those who are blameless serve as servant-leaders.

11. Women likewise must be dignified, not backbiting; clear-minded, trustworthy in every respect.
