1 Timothy 3:6

3:6 He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.

1 Timothy 3:15-16

3:15 in case I am delayed, to let you know how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, because it is the church of the living God, the support and bulwark of the truth. 3:16 And we all agree, our religion contains amazing revelation:

He was revealed in the flesh,

vindicated by the Spirit,

seen by angels,

proclaimed among Gentiles,

believed on in the world,

taken up in glory.
