Who became a bishop in the New Testament?
Scholars say that the role of bishop was only instituted in the early decades of the New Testament, by which time all the persons actually mentioned in the New Testament were already dead. Some of the epistles written during the second century do mention the position of bishop, without giving the names of any historical bishops.
What did Paul write to Timothy?
The two epistles known as 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy are written as if from Paul to Timothy. They contain pastoral advice and instruction for running the church community to which Timothy has been assigned as bishop. However, nearly all New Testament scholars say these epistles were written in Paul's name during the early years of the second century and it was intended that Christians of the second century believe these epistles really came from Paul and really contained his teachings.
Was Clement the writer of Paul's epistles?
On the evidence of Eusebius, Clement was bishop of Rome between 92 and 101 CE. Clement is said to have written two letters to the Corinthians, but these are not the same letters as Paul wrote to the Corinthians. In any case, Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians must have been written before Mark's Gospel, which is reliably dated to around 70 CE. The Clementine epistle, 1 Clement does refer to Paul's letter to the Corinthians. No, he did not write Paul's epistles - Paul wrote them. Some are of the opinion that Clement may have written Hebrews.

How many times does the word bishop appear in the Bible?
Actually, no English word "Bishop" technically appears in the Bible, as the Bible is written in Greek. However, the word Episkopos appears several times. The word has been translated into several different English meanings, such as "overseer" or "elder". However, to say that episkopos is not best translated as Bishop is wrong. By the end of the 1st century the position of episkopos is already well documented by writings from the Apostolic Fathers, the leaders of the Church who learned from the Apostles themselves. The Apostles appointed men to carry on the Great Commission (just as the remaining eleven Apostles replaced Judas with Matthias by casting lots in Acts 1: 23-36). The position left to major overseers was apparently Episkopos: "In the works of the Apostolic Fathers, and Ignatius of Antioch in particular, the role of the episkopos, or bishop, became more important or, rather, already was very important and being clearly defined." Pretty much exactly the same meaning as Bishop today. It is no coincidence that the "episcopate" is the term used to define the collective of all the bishops in a Church, or the individual 'episcopate' of a Bishop (which is their office).
