1 Timothy 3:4-7

1 Timothy 3:4-7 AMP

He must manage his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity [keeping them respectful and well-behaved] (for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?). and He must not be a new convert, so that he will not [behave stupidly and] become conceited [by appointment to this high office] and fall into the [same] condemnation incurred by the devil [for his arrogance and pride]. [Is 14:12-14] And he must have a good reputation and be well thought of by those outside the church, so that he will not be discredited and fall into the devil’s trap.
