1 Timothy 3:3
_ _ Not given to wine — The Greek includes besides this, not indulging in the brawling, violent conduct towards others, which proceeds from being given to wine. The opposite of “patient” or (Greek) “forbearing,” reasonable to others (see on Philippians 4:5).
_ _ no striker — with either hand or tongue: not as some teachers pretending a holy zeal (2 Corinthians 11:20), answering to “not a brawler” or fighter (compare 1 Kings 22:24; Nehemiah 13:25; Isaiah 58:4; Acts 23:2; 2 Timothy 2:24, 2 Timothy 2:25).
_ _ not covetous — Greek, “not a lover of money,” whether he have much or little (Titus 1:7). |
