Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

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

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
