Dear B-Greekers,

Text: EAN DE BRADUNW, hINA EIDHiS PWS DEI EN OIKWi QEOU ANASTREFESQAI, hHTIS ESTIN EKKLHSIA QEOU ZWNTOS, STULOS KAI EDRAIWMA THS ALHQEIAS (1 Timothy 3:15 NA27).

My question is a basic one, I think. Is the author's mention of OIKWi QEOU in this text connected with 1 Timothy 5:4, 8 where the constructions TON IDION OIKON and TWN IDIWN KAI MALISTA OIKEIWN occur? What discourse strategy (if any) is at work in 1 Timothy 3:15?

Thanks,
