OLBGrk;

Not a novice; not a young plant, that is, one that is newly made a member of the church of Christ; such persons are apt to swell in the opinion of their newly acquired knowledge, state, or dignity; and being so lifted up, they will be in danger of such a punishment as the devil for his pride met with, or to be guilty of some ill or indecent behaviour, which may give the devil occasion to accuse them. Others here interpret diabolou more appellatively, and understand by it a man that is an accuser, making the sense this, and fall into the judgment, censure, or condemnation of men, accusing them for such behaviour.
