1 Timothy 3:6-7
New English Translation

6 He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant[a] and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.[b] 7 And he must be well thought of by[c] those outside the faith,[d] so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil’s trap.[e]

Footnotes

  1. 1 Timothy 3:6 tn Grk “that he may not become arrogant.”
  2. 1 Timothy 3:6 tn Grk “the judgment of the devil,” which could also mean “the judgment that the devil incurred.” But see 1 Tim 1:20 for examples of the danger Paul seems to have in mind.
  3. 1 Timothy 3:7 tn Or “have a good reputation with”; Grk “have a good testimony from.”
  4. 1 Timothy 3:7 tn Grk “the ones outside.”
  5. 1 Timothy 3:7 tn Or “be trapped like the devil was”; Grk “fall into the trap of the devil.” The parallel in 2 Tim 2:26 supports the rendering given in the text.
