1 Timothy 3:7 in Context — 1 Timothy 3
5 car si quelqu’un ne sait pas diriger sa propre maison, comment prendra-t-il soin de l’Église de Dieu?
6 Il ne faut pas qu’il soit un nouveau converti, de peur qu’enflé d’orgueil il ne tombe sous le jugement du diable.
7 Il faut aussi qu’il reçoive un bon témoignage de ceux du dehors, afin de ne pas tomber dans l’opprobre et dans les pièges du diable.
8 Les diacres aussi doivent être honnêtes, éloignés de la duplicité, des excès du vin, d’un gain sordide,
9 conservant le mystère de la foi dans une conscience pure.
