It was always possible to be very explicit -- e.g. in 1 Cor 7.10 Paul
writes        

TOIS DE GEGAMHKOSIN PARAGGELLW, OUK EGW ALLA hO KURIOS, GUNAIKA APO
ANDROS MH XWRISQHNAI

Then there's the passage in the pastorals (Tit 1.5)

TOUTOU XARIN APELIPON SE EN KRITHi, hINA TA LEIPONTA EPIDIORQWSHi KAI
KATASTHSHiS KATA POLIN PRESBUTEROUS, hWS EGW SOI DIETACAMHN
