Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.

Therefore select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.But we will continue steadfastly in prayer and in the ministry of the word.”These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

“ You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,

not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.

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

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self- pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

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

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly;

“ You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

“ Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.”“ The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
