NASB | 1 Timothy 3:7 And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 3:7 And he must have a good reputation and be well thought of by those outside the church, so that he will not be discredited and fall into the devil's trap. |
Bible Question: How does having a good reputation with non-christians stop one falling into the devils trap? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Diomede, there is no guarentee that it does. We want to have a "good reputation" with non Christians because we are to be examples of Christ. We need to let the light of Christ shine in us so that those who are lost in darkness can find their way. Walking like Christ walked and having a solid foundation of the Word is what keeps us from falling into the snares of the enemy. prayon |
