In 1 Timothy 3:8, διλόγους is an adjective in the masculine accusative plural within a series of disqualifying descriptions for servants. The APB renders the clause "not double-tongued," alongside warnings against much wine and greedy gain.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Timothy 3:8, the APB presents the term in the clause "not double-tongued." This rendering confirms the clause's presentation rather than isolating every detail of the adjective.
