NETBible

He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant¹ and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.²

¹tn Grk “that he may not become arrogant.”

²tn Grk “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.
