5 (Porque el que no sabe gobernar su casa, ¿cómo cuidará de la iglesia de Dios?)
6 No un neófito, porque inflándose no caiga en juicio del diablo.
7 También conviene que tenga buen testimonio de los extraños, porque no caiga en afrenta y en lazo del diablo.
8 Los diáconos asimismo, [deben ser] honestos, no bilingües, no dados á mucho vino, no amadores de torpes ganancias;
9 Que tengan el misterio de la fe con limpia conciencia.
