not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall into the condemnation of the devil.

The overseer therefore must be blameless, the husband of one wife, without wine, serious minded, disciplined, loving strangers, able to teach,

who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him.
