Therefore brothers select seven men who have a good reputation. Men who are full of spirit and wisdom that we may appoint to take care of this business.

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the holy ones in union with Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and ministerial servants:

Be

one who manages well his own house, having his children in subjection with all seriousness;

Double-tongued

There is nothing truthful in what they say! Their inward part is destruction. Their throat is an open grave. They flatter with their tongue.

People speak lies to one another. They speak with flattering lips and with double-heart. (Double Heart: They say one thing but mean another.)

You let your mouth speak evil. Your tongue plans deceit.

Your tongue makes up wickedness. It is like a sharp razor, you master of deceit.

Their throat is an open grave. They have practiced deceit with their tongues. The poison of snakes is under their lips. (Psalm 5:9)

Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth! My brothers, these things should not be.

Not given

not addicted to wine, not quarrelsome; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;

Never drink beer or wine when you or your sons enter the sacred tent. If you do, you will die right there! This is a long lasting law from generation to generation.

None of the priests may drink wine when they enter the inner courtyard.
