3:6 He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant 1 and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact. 2
1 Timothy 3:10
3:10 And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless.
1 tnGrk “that he may not become arrogant.”
2 tnGrk “the judgment of the devil,” which could also mean “the judgment that the devil incurred.” But see 1 Tim 1:20 for examples of the danger Paul seems to have in mind.
