This is what happens when somebody approaches the Scriptures in total ignorance of the era that they were written. Paul is telling Timothy that polygamists could not be Bishops. He never said that an unmarried man couldn't be one.
Paul recommended the celibate life for those wishing to serve god more fully:
1 Cor. 7:32-34
I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.
But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, and he is divided.
Good grief - haven't you ever cracked open a Bible??
Understand breadof…. the flow of conservation. Thew apostle was talking with married men in chapter 2, and the conservation continue into chapter 3. how do we know this? answer notice the conjunction “THEN” in verse 2. 1 Timothy 3:1 "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop
then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;”. understand, “then” is the Greek word here, G3767 οὖν oun (oun') conj. 1.
a conjunction indicating a responsive progression of actions or events, whether the response is direct, immediate or delayed.
2. (directly) accordingly.
3. (progressively) in due course.
4. (of continuation or question) so then (as used in the vernacular English).
5. (of a longer continuation) so (as used in the vernacular English).
6. (as a distinct or distant conjunction) now then.
7. (of a conclusive response) well then (as is obvious...).
[apparently a primary word]
KJV: and (so, truly), but, now (then), so (likewise then), then, therefore, verily, wherefore
Compare: G1352, G2596, G5106
See definition #1. the conservation was interrupted in verse 1, “This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work”. the true saying is for everyone, (THAT’S WHY IT’S A TRUE SAYING). verse 2 starts the conversation back with “THEN, listen, verse 2 “A bishop
then” the THEN do just what it meant to do, G3767 οὖν oun (oun') conj. 1. a conjunction indicating a
responsive progression of actions or events, whether the response is direct, immediate or
delayed. The delay was in verse 1, with a true saying for all men.
My God how hard is it for one to learn.
I suggest you close your bible, because it's doing you no good.
