σωφροσύνη
sophrosyne
sound-mindedness, self-control, discretion
Summary
σωφροσύνη ("sound-mindedness, self-control") is one of the four cardinal Greek virtues, used in 1 Timothy 2:9 for godly women and 2:15 for the specific woman's restoration. The cognate σώφρων appears in elder qualifications (Titus 1:8), creating a lexical bridge: the virtue commended to godly women is the same virtue required of church leaders and the same virtue the deceived woman must recover.
Used in Verses
Lexical echo between v.9 (godly women) and v.15 (restoration condition) — structural bridge
σωφροσύνη in v.15 — the condition for restoration echoes the virtue commended to godly women in v.9
