1 Timothy 3:6

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
World English Bible (WEB)
Not{G3361} a novice{G3504}, lest{G3363} being lifted up with pride{G5187}{(G5685)} he fall{G1706}{(G5632)} into{G1519} the condemnation{G2917} of the devil{G1228}.
Strong's King James
(6) Also not a new convert! So that he won't become puffed up to fall into condemnation of the accusing devil.
The F.O.G*
[6] Don't rush to appoint someone who's just beginning their journey with the Messiah. Like a young plant needs time to develop deep roots, new believers need time to mature. Otherwise, pride might take root instead, leading to the same downfall that snared the Adversary.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil;
Young's Literal Translation
