4 Bible Verses about Temperament

But do thou speak the things which become sound doctrine: that aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in the faith, in love, in patience: the aged women likewise in behaviour as becometh saints, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of that which is good;read more.
that they may instruct the young women to be temperate, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be prudent, chaste, keepers at home, good, submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of. Exhort the young men in like manner to be temperate: in all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works, with uncorruptness in teaching, gravity, sound doctrine that cannot be condemned; that he who opposeth it may be ashamed, having no evil to say of you. Exhort servants to submit to their masters, to be obsequious in all things, not answering frowardly, not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men; teaching us that denying ungodliness, and worldly desires, we should live soberly, and righteously, and piously in this present world; looking for the blessed hope, and glorious appearance of the great God, and our Saviour, Jesus Christ: who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, sober, prudent, grave, hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain, moderate, not quarrelsome,

The deacons should likewise be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of base gain, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

For a bishop must be blameless as the steward of God, not self-willed, not passionate, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of sordid gain: but hospitable, benevolent, sober, just, holy, temperate; holding fast the faithful word, according as he hath been taught, that he may be able both to instruct in sound doctrine, and to convince gainsayers.
