1 Timothy 3:6-8
New Living Translation
6 A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.[a] 7 Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the devil’s trap.
8 In the same way, deacons must be well respected and have integrity. They must not be heavy drinkers or dishonest with money.
