Ministers and Other Christians - Part 1

2 Corinthians 6
1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain....
2 ....
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

It appears that this passage is directed to ministers, and not necessarily those Christians sitting in the pews.
 
Question. Do ministers have a different set of standands than those Christians sitting in the pews? There appear to be specific standards for bishops, as opposed to other church members:

1 Timothy 3
1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (for if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Second Question. What is the will of God, for those of us, good Christians no doubt, filling those pews?
