not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
World English Bible (WEB)
Not{G3361} given to wine{G3943}, no{G3361} striker{G4131}, not{G3361} greedy of filthy lucre{G146}; but{G235} patient{G1933}, not a brawler{G269}, not covetous{G866};
Strong's King James
(3) Not addicted to wine nor bullying but rather tolerant, peaceable and not loving money.
The F.O.G*
[3] This leader can't be someone controlled by wine or prone to angry outbursts. Instead, they should be known for their gentleness - the kind that draws others closer rather than pushing them away. They must be at peace with others, never letting the love of money poison their heart or cloud their judgment.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,
Young's Literal Translation
