A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.

He must not be a new convert, or he might become conceited and incur the same condemnation as the devil.

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

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.

and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into condemnation incurred by the devil.

and He must not be a new convert, so that he will not [behave stupidly and] become conceited [by appointment to this high office] and fall into the [same] condemnation incurred by the devil [for his arrogance and pride]. [Is 14:12-14]

He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.
