1 Timothy 3:6-7

KJV

NIV

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
