1 Timothy · Πρὸς Τιμόθεον Αʹ

1 Timothy 3:8

Διακόνους ὡσαύτως σεμνούς, μὴ διλόγους, μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῷ προσέχοντας, μὴ αἰσχροκερδεῖς,
Diakonoys ōsaytōs semnoys, mē dilogoys, mē oinō pollō prosechontas, mē aischrokerdeis,
King James Version (KJV)

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

Modern English

In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain.
