3 Ref not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,
4 Ref his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity,
5 Ref (and if any one his own house `how' to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)
