1 Timothy 3:8

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

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

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

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

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

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
