9 conservant le mystère de la foi dans une conscience pure.

10 Qu’on les éprouve d’abord, et qu’ils exercent ensuite leur ministère, s’ils sont sans reproche.

11 Les femmes, de même, doivent être honnêtes, non médisantes, sobres, fidèles en toutes choses.

12 Les diacres doivent être maris d’une seule femme, et diriger bien leurs enfants et leurs propres maisons;

13 car ceux qui remplissent convenablement leur ministère s’acquièrent un rang honorable, et une grande assurance dans la foi en Jésus-Christ.
