World English Bible (WEB)
Likewise{G5615} must the deacons{G1249} be grave{G4586}, not{G3361} doubletongued{G1351}, not{G3361} given{G4337}{(G5723)} to much{G4183} wine{G3631}, not{G3361} greedy of filthy lucre{G146};
Strong's King James
(8) Servants likewise are to be worthy of respect, not insincere or addicted to much wine nor fond of dishonest gain.
The F.O.G*
[8] In the same way, those serving as deacons must embody dignity and integrity. Their words should always ring true, without saying one thing to one person and something different to another. They shouldn't be controlled by wine or motivated by dishonest gain.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Ministrants—in like manner grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not given to filthy lucre,
