New Testament

1 Timothy 3:11-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

11. Women in like manner must be grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

12. Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

13. For they that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

14. These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly;

15. but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

16. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
