1 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Morant61 | 123575 | ||
Greetings EdB! As Kalos's article stated, 'husband' and 'wife' are legitimate (I would argue preferable) translations in 1 Tim. 2:12. I would definitely say that choosing between two legitimate translations of a word is adding to Scripture! :-) There are indications in 1 Tim. 2 that Paul is talking about husbands and wives and not men and women in general. 1) First of all, Adam and Eve is used as an illustration in this chapter. Usually, Paul only uses them as an illustration of marriage. 2) Secondly, v. 15 mentions childbirth. Do all women have children? Are all women required to have children? The only legitimate context for childbirth is marriage. 3) Finally, v. 13 states that a 'woman' should not teach a man. Yet, we know that Priscilia was involved in teaching Apollos. So, it seems that there are two options involving v. 13. Either woman are never allowed to teach any man (note that there is no exception stated here regarding team teaching), in which case Priscilia was in the wrong and Paul never once corrected her. Or, V. 13 forbids a wife from teaching her husband, in which case Priscilia was correct in what she did. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: I'm just seeking clarification of something you wrote. Did you mean to say "choosing between two legitimate translations of a word IS adding to Scripture"? Or that choosing between two legitimate translations of a word is NOT adding to Scripture? Grace to you, kalos |

Word Study ... Gune (Strong's 1135), Aner (435) ... In the NAS Gune is translated wife 84 times and woman 130 times. Aner is translated husband 52 times and man 144 times. ... so it could be either. Looking at the context, I think about another passage (1 Cor 11:3-12), where husband and wife do not always fit. I think husband and wife also do not fit here ... but, translators have a choice. |
