Literal translation? Must have only one wife, not multiple ones. Not to be used to prove that a Bishop can only be a man.
If your argument is to hold water, then you would have to assume that based on this scripture in Timothy "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting." must mean that only men can pray, and not women.
