‏ 1 Timothy 3:3

3 not a drunkard, not combative but restrained, not quarrelsome, not covetous; ^{▼▼3:3The word ‘modestum’ in Latin has a broader range of meaning than the word ‘modesty’ in English. Often, the word ‘modestum’ does mean modesty, but in the context of this phrase (‘non percussorem, sed modestum’), it has the broader meaning of self-restraint in general.(Conte)}
