For those who have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus: David Lipscomb sees the deacons going about their daily work of ministering to the sick and helping the needy; while doing so, they grow stronger and develop greater boldness in the faith (151). The Bible makes it clear that those who serve others will gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith.
