Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons;
1 Timothy 3:Intro Of bishops, and deacons, and their wives -- The pillar and ground of the truth.
1 Timothy 3:8 Likewise the deacons must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
1 Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses will.
DC 17:8a The duty of the elders, priests, teachers, deacons, and members of the church of Christ:
DC 17:8b An apostle is an elder, and it is his calling to baptize, and to ordain other elders, priests, teachers, and deacons, and to administer bread and wine--the emblems of the flesh and blood of Christ--
DC 17:10c and he may also ordain other priests, teachers, and deacons;
DC 17:11d and is to be assisted always, in all his duties in the church, by the deacons, if occasion requires;
DC 17:11e but neither teachers nor deacons have authority to baptize, administer the sacrament, or lay on hands;
DC 17:26 All members removing from the church where they reside, if going to a church where they are not known, may take a letter certifying that they are regular members and in good standing, which certificate may be signed by any elder or priest, if the member receiving the letter is personally acquainted with the elder or priest, or it may be signed by the teachers or deacons of the church.
DC 83:5b And again, the offices of teachers and deacons are necessary appendages belonging to the lesser priesthood, which priesthood was confirmed upon Aaron and his sons.
DC 83:22 And, behold, the high priests should travel, and also the elders, and also the lesser priests; but the deacons and teachers should be appointed to watch over the church, to be standing ministers unto the church.
DC 85:39b or, in other words, those who are called to the ministry in the church, beginning at the high priests, even down to the deacons; and this shall be the order of the house of the presidency of the school:
DC 104:31c and also teachers to preside over those who are of the office of a teacher, in like manner; and also the deacons:
DC 104:38 And again, verily I say unto you, The duty of a president over the office of a deacon, is to preside over twelve deacons, to sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty--edifying one another, as it is given according to the covenants.
DC 107:46a And, again I say unto you, Samuel Rolfe and his counselors for priests, and the president of the teachers and his counselors, and also the president of the deacons and his counselors, and also the president of the stake and his counselors:
DC 118:1c Nor is it expedient now to further fill up the quorums, except it be the elders, priests, teachers, and deacons: which ye may do, as ye deem wise, by the direction of conference.
DC 122:7b leaving the branches and districts where organization is effected to the care and administration of the standing ministers, high priest, elders, priests, teachers, and deacons, so far as possible;
DC 122:9b Where organization has been arranged and officers have been ordained and set in order; the standing ministry in their order; high priests, elders, priests, teachers, and deacons.
DC 122:9c the parallels are: in the Presidency, the President and his counselors; in the second presidency, the Twelve; in the missionary work, first the Twelve, second, the Seventy; in the standing ministry, the Presidency, second, the high priests; third, the elders, then priests, teachers, and deacons in their order.
