1 Timothy 3:4-7
New American Standard Bible
4 He must be one who (A)manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity 5 (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of (B)the church of God?), 6 and not a new convert, so that he will not become (C)conceited and fall into (D)condemnation [a]incurred by the devil. 7 And he must (E)have a good reputation with (F)those outside the church, so that he will not fall into [b]disgrace and (G)the snare of the devil.
