The deacons might take occasion to commit such sins, in performing the duties of their office. The deacons should not be double-tongued, nor the deaconesses calumniators, 1Ti 3:11 [slanderers]: it seems the deacons visited more houses than the deaconesses.-μὴ οἴνῳ, not to wine) The danger of drunkenness threatens those who in the way of duty visit many houses.
