1 Timothy 3:10

“Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.”

Verse in context — 1 Timothy 3

Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money;

holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.

Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

Let servants be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
