1 Timothy 3:6-8

1 Timothy 3:6-8 AMP

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. Deacons likewise must be men worthy of respect [honorable, financially ethical, of good character], not double-tongued [speakers of half-truths], not addicted to wine, not greedy for dishonest gain
