Description

Deacons are to be

1. worthy of respect
2. Sincere
3. not      indulging in much wine
4. not      pursuing dishonest gain.
5. keep hold      of the deep truths of the faith
6. with a      clear conscience.
7. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as      deacons.

This list seems to summarize the qualifications of elders earlier in the chapter, but as I previously indicated, without the "able to teach" requirement. I would be very reluctant to say "So it's okay if they have more than one wife, or if they're promiscuous, or have anger issues."
