3 πρεσβύτιδας ὡσαύτως ἐν καταστήματι ἱεροπρεπεῖς, μὴ διαβόλους μὴ οἴνῳ πολλῷ δεδουλωμένας, καλοδιδασκάλους, 4 ἵνα σωφρονίζωσιν τὰς νέας φιλάνδρους εἶναι, φιλοτέκνους 5 σώφρονας ἁγνὰς οἰκουργοὺς ἀγαθάς, ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ βλασφημῆται.





3 PRESBUTIDAS hWSAUTWS EN KATASTHMATI hIEROPREPEIS, MH DIABOLOUS, MH OINWi POLLWi DEDOULWMENAS, KALODIDASKALOU. 4 hINA SWFRONIZWSIN TAS NEAS FILANDROUS EINAI, FILOTEKNOUS 5 SWFRONAS hAGNAS OIKOURGOUS AGAQAS, hUPOTASSOMENAS TOIS IDIOIS ANDRASIN, hINA MH hO LOGOS TOU QEOU BLASFHMHTAI.

Right !  Barefoot and pregnant !  NOT !

That was what women did in that society.  Note the motivation ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ βλασφημῆται {hINA MH hO LOGOS TOU QEOU BLASFHMHTAI].  What this amounts to is that they are to conduct themselves in accordance with current mores so  as not to cause a scandal with regard to the gospel.

Hi, I’m new at this post.

I have a question for you folks, I really need your expertise. I’m  
suppose to have an important meeting shortly in regards to Titus 2.5  
the women should be “busy at home’οἰκουρός (OIKOUROS).

Some say it means that the woman should stay at home, keep the  
children and not have an outside job. Is that a semantic anachronism,  
or does it really mean that. Is it a modern concept put in an ancient  
word, or was the word used in that sense?

Regards,
Norm.
