1 Timothy 3:7 in Context — 1 Timothy 3

5 (Pois, se alguém não sabe governar a sua própria casa, como cuidará da igreja de Deus?)

6 Não um novo convertido; para que não se torne arrogante, e caia na condenação do diabo.

7 É dever também que tenha bom testemunho dos que estão de fora, para que não caia em reprovação pública e na cilada do diabo.

8 De maneira semelhante, os diáconos sejam de boa conduta, não contraditórios, não dados a muito vinho, não cobiçosos de ganho desonesto,

9 mas mantenham o mistério da fé em consciência pura.
