1 Timothy 3:6-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. Not a new convert, lest he become puffed up with pride and fall into the judgment of the devil.

7. And he should even have a good witness from those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8. Likewise attendants are to be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for filthy gain,

9. holding to the secret of the belief with a clean conscience.

10. And let these also be proved first, then let them serve, if they are unreprovable.

11. Wives in the same way: reverent, not false accusers, sober, trustworthy in every way.
