1 Timothy 3:5-7
New Living Translation
5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
6 A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.[a] 7 Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the devil’s trap.
