Connecting Statement:
Paul gives some special instructions on how the deacons of the church and their wives should act and be.
Deacons, likewise
"Deacons, like overseers"
should be dignified, not double-talkers
Paul speaks about these people as if they were "double-talkers" or could say two things at once. He means the person says one thing but mean something else. Alternate translation: "should act properly and mean what they say" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
