Didache, on 1Tim 3:1
Didache · c. A.D. 100
1Tim 3:1 · Douay-Rheims
“A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.”
On this verse:
“Appoint, therefore, for yourselves, bishops and deacons worthy of the Lord, men meek, and not lovers of money, and truthful and proved; for they also render to you the service of prophets and teachers. Despise them not therefore, for they are your honoured ones, together with the prophets and teachers.”
