“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. ”
“For those who have served well gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
“For those who have served well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.”
“For they that have ministered well shall purchase to themselves a good degree and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
“For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
