See All...; The husband of one wife (1 Tim:3:2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
See All...; Titus:1:6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
See All...); Have children who believe (Titus:1:6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
See All...); and must hold fast to the Word (Titus:1:9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
