Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
8In the same way, deacons must be well respected and have integrity. They must not be heavy drinkers or dishonest with money.
9They must be committed to the mystery of the faith now revealed and must live with a clear conscience.
10Before they are appointed as deacons, let them be closely examined. If they pass the test, then let them serve as deacons.
English Standard Version
New International Version
8In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain.
9They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
10They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.
