Although some versions may hint that the man could desire the position for his own purposes, most imply that it was for the benefit of service to the community in the honor of the Yahshua. Only two of the qualifications of a bishop are mentioned in the passage under consideration in this essay. All versions stress that he should be without reproach. This would be appropriate for a man of his position. He was chosen from the congregation after divine approval had been sought.
Nothing is said about formal education.
The second qualification gives different assumptions in the various versions. The main stress seems to be that he was not to be in a polygamous marital state. Since the wife is mentioned, the bishop would have to be a man. Also, he should be married, although one version stresses that the wording does not eliminate single men from holding this office. A few versions suggest that men who have been widowed or divorced could not hold this office.
