ὡσαύτως

hosautos

likewise, in the same manner

Summary

ὡσαύτως ("likewise, in the same manner") in 1 Timothy 2:9 links the women's instruction to the men's prayer instruction — both groups are addressed as pray-ers, each corrected for a specific failing (anger for men, ostentation for women). This structural parallel undermines readings that assign fundamentally different roles to men and women in the passage.

The structural pivot in 1 Tim 3:11: γυναῖκας ὡσαύτως ('women likewise') parallels διακόνους ὡσαύτως in v.8, placing women in the same syntactical category as overseers and deacons (all accusative-plural subjects under one governing δεῖ)
