I Timothy 3 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.1 The deacon is an officer of the church. The elders and bishops must establish an administration of pure ministers and communities that seek marital purity in order to raise the children to be sexually clean, so as they can have ministerial and parental example to honorably marry and have the sexual cleanliness attribute themselves so as to serve as ministers in the house of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth (I Timothy 3:15). We can give background checks for males and females. Next verse, previous verse other verses
