# Connecting Statement:
Paul gives some special instructions on how the deacons of the church and their wives should act and be.
# In the same way, deacons
"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]])
