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

Context

1This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.
2The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;
3not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
4one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;
5(but how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule one’s own house take care of God’s assembly?)
6not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
