that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing.
Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, {Greek: buying up the opportunity.}redeeming the time.

for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth.
And David saith, {Psalm 69:22 f.}Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.
Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
and they may {Greek: return to soberness}recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been {Greek: taken alive.}taken captive {Or, by him, unto the will of God. Compare 2 Corinthians 10:5 Greek: by him, unto the will of him. In the Greek the two pronouns are different.}by him unto his will.
not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the {Greek: judgment.}condemnation of the devil.
But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.
