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 some people as if they were "double-talkers" who could say two things at once. He is talking about people who say one thing but mean something else. Alternate translation: "should act properly and mean what they say" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
