1 Timothy 3:5-7

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

(⁵ but if one does not know-how to lead his own household, how will he take-care-of a church of God?), ⁶ not a new-convert, in order that he may not fall into the judgment of ^[a] the devil, having become conceited^[b]. ⁷ And he must also have a good testimony from the ones outside, in order that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.
