Description: Paul gives the church a threefold assessment; character, doctrinal conviction, and family commitment; for identifying deacons, because the diaconate exists to embody Christ's own self-giving love and mercy toward the needy, and true spiritual advancement for a deacon comes not through status but through humble, cross-shaped service.
