NASB
"These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach."
— 1 Timothy 3:10, NASB
“And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.”
“And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they be blameless. ”
“Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.”
“And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless.”
“And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.”
“And let these first be put to the test; then let them become Deacons if there is nothing against them.”
“And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.”
And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,
but holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.
Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.
Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.
For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
