1 Tim. 3:10

I agree with Randy Leedy, but I should like to add that the aorist would
render the meaning more general than the present tense. It may be that
such "bad" deacons were already in charge and must be replaced now. It
is as if the writer says," Test the deacons first, and then let them
continue to serve the community.
