said by the Lord: ‘In every place and time let there be offered to me a clean sacrifice, because I am the great king’; and also: ‘and my name is wonderful among the Gentiles.’3 1 Elect, therefore, for yourselves bishops and deacons worthy of the Lord, humble men and not covetous, and faithful and well tested; for they also serve you in the ministry of the prophets and teachers. 2 Do not, therefore, despise them, for they are the honored men among you, along with the prophets and teachers.
