Emmaus Journal Volume 1
Overview
Top Highlights
“‘But why,’ people often ask, ‘are the wives of deacons mentioned and not the wives of overseers?’ The answer lies in the nature of the diaconate, which is not a teaching, governing office like the eldership.” (Volume 1, Number 3, Page 209)
“but it will suffer the trials and persecutions of the Antichrist” (Volume 1, Number 1, Page 22)
“ it is clear that the restraint is under the control of God” (Volume 1, Number 1, Page 30)
“An interpretation that better agrees with the facts and questions raised by 1 Timothy 3:11 is that Paul is referring to the ‘women who assist deacons.’ William Hendriksen, a biblical commentator and a leading proponent of this view, writes, ‘These women, are the deacons’ assistants in helping the poor and needy, etc. These are women who render auxiliary service, performing ministries for which women are better adapted.’12 According to this view, Paul refers to this new group of people in verse 11 as γυναῖκας (women) precisely because they have no official title. They are not deacon officials. Moreover, this view eliminates any conflict with Paul’s earlier assertions in 1 Timothy 2:12 about women not having authority over men.” (Volume 1, Number 3, Page 204)
“The word ‘likewise’ (ὡσαύτως, hōsautōs) in verse 11 signals that Paul is introducing a new class of people: γυναῖκας—women/wives.” (Volume 1, Number 3, Page 198)
