Keypoints: 1. As this is a giant list of qualifications for those in leadership, the best thing for the reader to do is to focus on each requirement and search his or her own heart and other Scriptures pertaining to each requirement. 2. The passage does seem to address overseers/bishops and deacons as men, commenting on their being married to one wife. Many would say that deaconesses are fine while a woman overseer is not (1 Timothy 2), but those assertions cannot be gleaned from this passage as it would be an argument from silence. In fact this may even state that women cannot be deacons either. However, being a deacons wife, just like being the wife of an overseer, I would also consider a "noble task" regardless of the label.
