He may not be a young scholar, lest he swell and fall into the judgment of the evil speaker.

He must also be well reported of among them which are without forth, lest he fall into rebuke, and into the snare of the evil speaker.

Some men's sins are open beforehand and go before unto judgement: some men's sins follow after.

They that will be rich, fall into temptation and snares, and into many foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition and destruction.

But thou, which art the man of God, flee such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and meekness.
