1 Timothy 3:3
KJV
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
NIV
not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
While many of these words are close in meaning, some are also a shade different, which can shift one’s thoughts and perception toward the qualifications of a bishop.
