| Philippians 1:1 | Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: |
| 1 Timothy 3:8 | Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; |
| 1 Timothy 3:12 | Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. |
