This saying is trustworthy: whoever aspires to the office of bishop desires a noble task. Therefore, a bishop must be irreproachable, married only once, temperate, self-controlled, decent, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not aggressive, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, keeping his children under control with perfect dignity; for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he take care of the church of God?
"A faithful saying: If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth good work. It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher, Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity. But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?" 1 Timothy 3:1-5
"fidelis sermo si quis episcopatum desiderat bonum opus desiderat oportet ergo episcopum inreprehensibilem esse unius uxoris virum sobrium prudentem ornatum hospitalem doctorem non vinolentum non percussorem sed modestum non litigiosum non cupidum suae domui bene praepositum filios habentem subditos cum omni castitate si quis autem domui suae praeesse nescit quomodo ecclesiae Dei diligentiam habebit" 1 Timothy 3:1-5
St. Pauls' instructions to Timothy, as Bishop of Ephesus, in no way is absolute in that only married men should be selected as Bishops, Priests and Deacons. If Timothy were to chose married men for the clerical state then they could only have been married once, no more. As you know, or should know, St. Paul was celibate. Your lack of commentary seems to indicate that you believe that St. Paul himself would have been ineligible to be a Bishop, Priest or Deacon in Ephesus, or anywhere else for that matter, which of course is absurd. It's a frequent mistake that poor students of Scripture and history make.
