²⁷ It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

⁸ Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
