The LSJ focuses on classical Greek (8th-4th century BC), not biblical Greek — its kephale entry ignores NT examples

The LSJ covers Greek from the 8th century BC to the 6th century AD but emphasizes the classical period (8th-4th century BC). Its kephale entry focuses on earlier periods, mentions no NT examples, and does not examine NT context. While it is the egalitarians' strongest lexical resource, it is the least applicable to NT studies. More specialized lexicons like BDAG should be preferred for understanding Paul's usage.
