2 | had to look up the word pugnacious | 1 Tim 3:3 | DocTrinsograce | 131573 | ||
Hmmm... interesting. I think that pugnacious is a very good translation for the Greek "plektes." The word has, at its roots, a conotation of violence. But I do not think that that was Paul's intent. He is talking here more about a person who is quick to retaliate to an insult or slight. Someone who is easily provoked into a quarrel. Perhaps kalos or Pastor Tim can comment. |
