1 Timothy 3:9 in Context — 1 Timothy 3

7 Il faut aussi qu’il reçoive un bon témoignage de ceux du dehors, afin de ne pas tomber dans l’opprobre et dans les pièges du diable.

8 Les diacres aussi doivent être honnêtes, éloignés de la duplicité, des excès du vin, d’un gain sordide,

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.
