King James Version
"Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;"
— 1 Timothy 3:3, King James Version
“no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; ”
“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;”
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
