1 Timothy 3:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

but look ye out, brethren, from among yourselves, seven well-attested men, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this business;

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

presiding well over his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity

their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips;

Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing! My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

not given to wine, not a striker, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,
