Además, debe tener buena reputación con los de afuera, para que no caiga en descrédito y en lazo del diablo.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, the early Christian church was navigating a challenging environment in the Roman Empire, where believers faced scrutiny and potential persecution from non-Christian society. Paul wrote this letter to Timothy, his young assistant in Ephesus, as part of instructions for selecting church leaders like overseers, emphasizing the need for them to have a positive reputation outside the church to avoid bringing harm to the community. This advice reflected the cultural reality that leaders' public lives could either strengthen or undermine the church's witness in a skeptical world.
