1 Timothy 3:5-7
Young's Literal Translation
5 (and if any one his own house [how] to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)
6 not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil;
7 and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

New International Version
5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)(A) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited(B) and fall under the same judgment(C) as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders,(D) so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.(E)
