Apostolic Constitutions, on Titus 1:6
Apostolic Constitutions · c. A.D. 380
Titus 1:6 · Douay-Rheims
“If any be without crime, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or unruly.”
On this verse:
“We have already said that a bishop, a presbyter and a deacon, when they are constituted, must be married but once, whether their wives are alive or whether they are dead. It is not lawful for them, if they are unmarried when they are ordained, to be married afterwards; or if they are married at that time, to marry a second time, but to be content with that wife which they had when they came to ordination.”
