1 | Elder must be 'the husband of one wife'? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Makarios | 5573 | ||
What does this verse (1 Tim. 3:2) mean when it says an elder of the church must be 'the husband of but one wife'? Does it mean that the elder must be married only once (no marriage is allowed even if the wife dies), or that the elder must be married to one wife at a time (polygamy is forbidden), a single person cannot be an elder in the church, or the elder must prove to be faithful to his wife, being a 'one-woman man' ? | ||||||
2 | Elder must be 'the husband of one wife'? | 1 Tim 3:2 | srbaegon | 5601 | ||
