1 Timothy 3:5-7

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁵ If a man does not know how to lead his own family, how can he take care of the church of God?

⁶ A church leader must not be a new believer. If he were a new believer, he might become proud and set himself up like the devil did.

⁷ People who are not church people must also speak well of a church leader, so that he will not fall into the devil's trap.
