NASB | 1 Timothy 3:3 not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 3:3 not addicted to wine, not a bully nor quick-tempered and hot-headed, but gentle and considerate, free from the love of money [not greedy for wealth and its inherent power--financially ethical]. |
Subject: had to look up the word pugnacious |
Bible Note: Hmmm... interesting. I think that pugnacious is a very good translation for the Greek "plektes." The word has, at its roots, a conotation of violence. But I do not think that that was Paul's intent. He is talking here more about a person who is quick to retaliate to an insult or slight. Someone who is easily provoked into a quarrel. Perhaps kalos or Pastor Tim can comment. |
