Paul also continues to
describe who the "faithful people" are
who are to hand on the Revelation of God.
The first category of
"faithful people" is episcopos, bishop.
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.
