American Standard Version
"no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; "
— 1 Timothy 3:3, American Standard Version
“Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;”
“not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;”
“not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not contentious, free from the love of money.”
“Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but”
“Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money;”
“Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;”
Faithful is the saying, If a man seeketh the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;
one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
(but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
