θεοσέβεια
theosebeia
godliness, reverence for God
Summary
θεοσέβεια ("reverence for God") is a NT hapax in 1 Timothy 2:10, distinct from Paul's usual εὐσέβεια. These women have voluntarily professed godliness and are instructed to demonstrate it through works, not wardrobe. The positive affirmation of their faith in v.10 contrasts sharply with the corrective posture toward the specific woman in vv.11-15 — suggesting different subjects.
Used in Verses
Women professing godliness — affirmed, not restricted, in vv.9-10
