woman, wife

Used in Verses

1 Corinthians 11:2-9 📖 (Explore →)

Can mean 'woman' or 'wife'; paired with aner, the same ambiguity applies

1 Timothy 3:8-13 📖 (Explore →)

Hübner: 'γυναῖκας' in 3:11 is accusative plural (categorical heading) differing significantly from the genitive singular γυναικός in vv.2, 12 (possessive 'wife of'). Grammatical distinction argues for 'women (deacons)' not 'their wives'
