1 Timothy 3:1-2
This saying is trustworthy: whoever aspires to the
office
of bishop (episcopes) desires a noble task.
Therefore, a
bishop (episcopon) must be irreproachable,
married only
once, temperate, self-controlled, decent, hospitable,
able
to teach ...
Titus 1:7,9
For a bishop (episcopon) as God's steward must
be
blameless, not arrogant, not irritable, not a drunkard,
not aggressive, not greedy for sordid gain, holding
fast to the true message as taught so that he will be
able both to exhort with sound doctrine and to
refute
opponents.
The first in order and the
greatest in authority is
the episcopos,
the bishop.
