Annotation CCCXIX

”Deacons in like manner chaste, etc.” — 1 Timothy 3:8

Bishop, and presbyter.

Chrysostom, [in] the eleventh homily on the former [epistle] to Timothy, asserts that between a bishop and a priest [sacerdotem] there is almost no difference. The Author of the commentaries [ascribed to] Jerome writes the same in this place. See below, Annotation 324.
