An otherwise qualified man should not be excluded from church leadership because of actions he took prior to coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior. Although 1 Timothy 3:2 does not necessarily exclude a divorced or remarried man from serving as an elder/deacon/pastor, there are other issues to consider.
Ingawa 1 Timotheo 3:2 hasa haimtengi mtu aliyetaliki au kuoa tena kutoka kutumikia kama mzee / shemasi / mchungaji, kuna masuala mengine ya kuzingatia.
