μεσίτης
mesites
mediator, go-between
Summary
μεσίτης ("mediator") in 1 Timothy 2:5 — "one mediator between God and men" — counters any system that interposes additional authorities between humans and God. In the Ephesian context, this challenges both the Artemis cult's mediatorial hierarchy and any proto-hierarchical gatekeeping within the church. The one-mediator theology undermines gender-based restrictions on access to God or ministry.
