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

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

Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch;whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.

Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;

no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;

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

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

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.

For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self- willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;

out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

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:
