If it truly meant the husband of one wife, you'd have to take it exactly literally and that means any man who has been married more than once, regardless of whether the first marriage was ended by death, could not be a Bishop.

Sorry. Ron, the original language DOES NOT say what you are trying to claim. It says that he is a one-woman kind of man. That would not eliminate him if he were single, nor would it eliminate him if his first wife were dead. In my opinion, in would not eliminate him if he were divorced justly, and had remarried. It DOES eliminate him if he were not a he, but a she.
