Church Fathers on 1 Timothy 3:13
Everywhere they are required to rule their children well, that others may not be scandalized by their misconduct. “They that use the office of a Deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree,” that is, advancement, “and much boldness in the faith of Jesus Christ”; as if he would say, that those who have been found vigilant in the lower degree will soon ascend to the higher.
