For as God's trustee a pastor must be above reproach, not stubborn or quick-tempered or addicted to strong drink or pugnacious or addicted to dishonest gain,

and in these [sinful things] you also once walked, when you were habitually living in them [without the knowledge of Christ].

not addicted to strong drink, not pugnacious, gentle and not contentious, not avaricious,

Deacons, too, must be serious, sincere in their talk, not addicted to strong drink or dishonest gain,

The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go take to thee a wife addicted to lewdness and children of lewdness; for the land hath committed great lewdness, departing from the LORD.

I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

In the same way, older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine. They are to teach what is good,

for even we ourselves were once inconsiderate, disobedient, deluded, addicted to variety of passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, the deserving objects of mutual hatred.

unhappy creatures! they have followed the practices of Cain, they have addicted themselves to the mercenary illusions of Balaam, and perish in their rebellion like Core.

Then Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that ye are greatly addicted to the worship of invisible powers.

And Paul waiting for them among the Athenians, his spirit was excited in him, seeing the city being addicted to idol worship.

Their wives in like manner must be grave women, not addicted to scandal, sober, faithful in all things.

But what I meant was that you were not to associate with any one bearing the name of "brother," if he was addicted to fornication or avarice or idol-worship or abusive language or hard-drinking or greed of gain. With such a man you ought not even to eat.

nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
