World English Bible
"not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;"
— 1 Timothy 3:3, World English Bible
“Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;”
“no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; ”
“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 faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work.
The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
(but if a man doesn't know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)
not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
