1 Timothy 3:5-7
New Matthew Bible
5 For if a man cannot manage his own house, how will he care for the congregation of God? 6 He may not be a young scholar, lest he swell and fall into the judgment of the evil speaker. 7 He must also be well reported of among those who are outside, lest he fall into rebuke and the snare of the evil speaker.
