NASB
"Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,"
— 1 Timothy 3:8, NASB
“Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;”
“Deacons in like manner must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; ”
“Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money;”
“Deacons likewise must be dignified, not two-faced, not given to excessive drinking, not greedy for gain,”
“Deacons in like manner: chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:”
“Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;”
“Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;”
(but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),
and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.
And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,
but holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.
Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.
