Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.

Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.

“ Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations,

the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—

not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

No priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court.

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

They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.

For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,

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

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit.

“ Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;“ The poison of asps is under their lips”;
