Philippians 1:1
Douay-Rheims
Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
" What does this mean ? Were there at that time many bishops of one city ? By no means ; but he styled the priests by this name ; for up to that time they used the names promiscuously, and the bishop was even styled deacon." St. Chrysostom.
