not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
no striker: Not a bruiser: not one ready with a blow. This describes the man who is not always looking for a fight. He is gentle, considerate of the other person. In gentleness, he corrects, admonishes, leads the wayward to repentance and truth (2 Timothy 2:24-25).
