World English Bible
"Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money;"
— 1 Timothy 3:8, World English Bible
“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; ”
“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 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.
Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money;
holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.
Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
