MSG(1-7)If anyone wants to provide leadership in the church, good! But there are preconditions: A leader must be well-thought-of, committed to his wife, cool and collected, accessible, and hospitable. He must know what he’s talking about, not be overfond of wine, not pushy but gentle, not thin-skinned, not money-hungry. He must handle his own affairs well, attentive to his own children and having their respect. For if someone is unable to handle his own affairs, how can he take care of God’s church? He must not be a new believer, lest the position go to his head and the Devil trip him up. Outsiders must think well of him, or else the Devil will figure out a way to lure him into his trap.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:7 Paul expected Christians to live in a way that could be respected by people outside the church (see also 6:1; Titus 2:5-10).
• The trap might pertain to the false teachers (see 1 Tim 1:20; 5:14-15; 6:9; 2 Tim 2:26).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μαρτυρίαν καλὴν ἔχειν ἀπὸ

/a/_testimony good /to_be/_having from

μαρτυρίαν καλὴν & ἀπὸ

/a/_testimony good & from

Alternate translation: “a good reputation with”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τῶν ἔξωθεν

the_‹ones› outside

The phrase the ones outside identifies people who do not belong to the group of believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to people who are not part of the group of believers. Alternate translation: “the outsiders” or “the people who are not part of your group”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ, καὶ

not into derision ˱he˲_/may/_fall_in and

Alternate translation: “he may not be overcome by reproach and fall into” or “he may not experience reproach and fall into”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

μὴ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμπέσῃ, καὶ

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

παγίδα τοῦ διαβόλου

/the/_snare ˱of˲_the devil

Here Paul speaks of how the devil gains power or control over people as if he were trapping.
