Bible Question: There has been considerable disagreement about the proper translation of the greek word translated "women" in the NASB. In the KJV, NIV, and many other translations it is translated "wives"(referring to the wives of deacons). Could someone with knowledge of Greek please cast some light on this? |
Bible Answer: Strong's Number: 1135 Original Word: gune Word Origin: probably from the base of (1096) 'Definition '1. a woman of any age, whether a virgin, or married, or a widow '2. a wife' 'NAS Word Usage - Total: 214 bride 1, wife 71, wife's 1, wives 11, woman 96, woman's 1, women 33' King James Word Usage - Total: 221 women 129, wife 92 [Note that in the KJV the same Greek word is more often translated "women" than it is "wife."] ___________________ Greek lexicon based on Thayer's and Smith's Bible Dictionary plus others; this is keyed to the large Kittel and the "Theological Dictionary of the New Testament."
