In 1 Timothy 3:6, the accusative singular masculine form identifies the person excluded by the warning; the APB renders the clause "Not a new convert," before warning that he may become puffed up and fall into judgment.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Timothy 3:6, the APB presents the person as "a new convert." This rendering is confirmed by the clause rather than treated as a precise lexical equivalence.
