Context — Characteristics of False Teachersgenerated
2 Timothy 3:6 describes individuals who infiltrate households, taking advantage of women burdened by sins and led astray by various passions. This passage highlights the deceptive nature of false teachers and their tactics to manipulate vulnerable individuals. The context warns believers to be discerning and cautious of those who may appear godly but deny the power of true faith, as outlined in the preceding verses.

The Key Word — γυναικάρια, gunaikariongenerated
The term γυναικάρια is a diminutive of γυνή, meaning 'little woman' or 'silly woman.' It carries a negative connotation, referring to women who are easily influenced or lacking in judgment. In this verse, it describes those who are particularly susceptible to manipulation by false teachers.
The usage of this word indicates a contemptuous view toward the women being described, emphasizing their vulnerability and the opportunistic behavior of the deceivers.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse in the Berean Standard Bible reads, 'They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions.' This aligns closely with the KJV and ASV, which use 'creep into houses' and 'lead captive silly women.'
Where translations differ, they do so in the rendering of specific words. For instance, οἰκίας is translated as 'households' in the BSB, while several versions like the KJV and ASV use 'houses.' Similarly, γυναικάρια is rendered as 'weak women' in some translations and 'silly women' in others.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is εἰσιν, are, which connects the subject to its description. The subject is οἱ τούτων, those of this sort, and it is followed by a series of participial phrases that describe their actions.
The structure reveals a complex sentence with multiple clauses, where the main clause identifies the subject and subsequent clauses elaborate on their actions and characteristics, emphasizing their deceptive nature.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
γυναικάρια does not appear in the Septuagint, indicating a specific usage in the New Testament context that may not have a direct Old Testament counterpart. However, the concept of women being misled or exploited can be found in various Old Testament narratives.
The term γυναικάρια reflects a cultural understanding of women's roles and vulnerabilities, which can be traced back to earlier Hebrew texts, though the specific term is unique to the New Testament.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
2 Timothy 3:6 warns about people who sneak into homes and take advantage of women who are burdened by sin and easily led astray by their desires. This highlights the need for caution against false teachers who exploit the vulnerable.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
ex his enim sunt qui penetrant domos, et captivas ducunt mulierculas oneratas peccatis, quæ ducuntur variis desideriis :
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.

PREP PREPosition
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.

The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

εἰμί is a Greek verb meaning 'to be' or 'to exist.' It serves various functions, such as a substantive verb for persons and things, and as a copula linking subjects and predicates. The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word οἰκία (lemma: oikia) refers to a house or dwelling, often used to denote a household or family. It is derived from οἶκος and is frequently found in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 2:11 and 2 Corinthians 5:1, where it can also metaphorically refer to the body as the dwelling of the soul. The distinction between οἰκία and οἶκος is noted, with the former typically indicating the dwelling itself and the latter encompassing the entire estate.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word αἰχμαλωτίζω (i.e., *aichmalotizō*) means to take or lead captive, often used in a metaphorical sense to indicate subjugation or control. It appears in the New Testament in contexts such as Luke 21:24, Romans 7:23, and 2 Corinthians 10:5. The word is derived from αἰχμάλωτος, which relates to being a captive.
† αἰχμαλωτίζω
(< αἰχμάλωτος),
[in LXX chiefly for שׁבה;]
in late writers = cl. αἰχμάλωτον ποιῶ (ἄγω),
to take or lead captive: seq. εἰς, Lk 21:24 (cf. To 1:10); metaph., Ro 7:23, II Co 10:5, II Ti 3:6.†
αἰχμαλωτίζω; 1 fut. pass. αἰχμαλωτισθήσομαι; a. equiy. to αἰχμάλωτον ποιῶ, which the earlier Greeks use. b. to lead away captive: foll. by eis with ace. of place, Lk. xxi. 24, (1 Mace. x. 33; Tob.i. 10). ο. fig. to subJugate, bring under control: 2 Co. x. 5 (on which passage see νόημα, 2); τινά τινι, Ro. vii. 23 [yet T Tr δὲ ete. insert ἐν before the dat.]; to take captive one’s mind, captivate: γυναικάρια, 2 Tim. iii. 6 [not Rec.], (Judith xvi. 9 τὸ κάλλος αὐτῆς ἠχμαλώτισε ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ). The word is used also in the Sept., Diod., Joseph., Plut., Arr., Heliod.; cf. Lob. ad Phryn. p. 442; [W. 91 (87); Ellic. on 2 Tim. 1. ¢.].
αἰχμαλωτίζω. Syll 3487 10. (Cyzicus, i/B.c.) ὃν αἰχμα]λωτισθέντα ἐκ “Λιβύης... [ὅ]τι ἠχμαλώτισται Μᾶρκος. Phrynichus (ed. Lobeck, p. 442) characterizes the verb as ἀδόκιμον (7. ε. good vernacular !).
αἰχμαλωτίζω (aichmalōtizō) — to capture.
αἰχμᾰλ-ωτίζω,
take prisoner, [LXX+1st c.BC+]:—more frequently in middle, αἰχμαλωτίζομαι[Refs 1st c.AD+]: future -ίσομαι[Refs]: aorist ᾐχμαλωτισάμην[Refs 1st c.BC+]: perfect ᾐχμαλώτισμαι[Refs 1st c.AD+]; also in passive sense, [Refs]

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word γυναικάριον (gunaikarion) is a diminutive form of γυνή (gynē), meaning 'little woman' or 'silly woman.' It is used contemptuously in 2 Timothy 3:6 to describe weak-willed or trifling women. The lexicons generally agree on its negative connotation, though Dodson refers to it simply as a 'poor weak woman,' which lacks the contempt implied in other entries.
* γυναικάριον, -ου, τό (dim. of γυνή),
a little woman; contemptuously, a silly woman (EV): II Ti 3:6.†
γυναικάριον, -ov, τό, (dimin. fr. γυνή), a little woman; | used contemptuously in 2 Tim. iii. ὁ [A. V. silly women ; ef. Lat. muliercula}. (Diocles. com. in Bekk. Anecd. p. 87, 4; Antonin. 5, 11; occasionally in Epictet.) On | dimin. ending in ἄριον see Lob. ad Phryn. p. 180; Fritzsche on Mk. p. 638; [cef. W. 24, 96 (91) ].
γυναικάριον. For this NT ἅπ. elp. (Vg. meudierculas) Sir W. M. Ramsay (in a letter of Dec. 12, 1910) suggests the analogy of Cicero’s barbatuli juvenes (ad. Att. i. 14. §, and 16. 10), young swells with neatly and fashionably trimmed beards. The γυναικάρια of 2 Tim 3° would then be society ladies, borne by caprices in various directions and full of idle curiosity. The word is found in Epictetus iv. 1. 86 τῶν καλῶν γυναικαρίων, cf. 11. 18. 18, etc. Grimm quotes Diocles, a comedian of v/B.C:

The position of women in the Hebrew commonwealth contrasts favorably with that which in the present day is assigned to them generally in eastern countries. The most salient point of contrast in the usages of ancient as compared with modern Oriental society was the large amount of liberty enjoyed by women. Instead of being immured in a harem, or appearing in public with the face covered. The wives and maidens of ancient times mingled freely and openly with the other sex in the duties and amenities of ordinary life. Rebekah travelled on a camel with her face unveiled until she came into the presence of her affianced. (Genesis 24:64,65) Jacob saluted Rachel with a kiss in the presence of the shepherds. (Genesis 29:11) Women played no inconsiderable part in public celebrations (

σωρεύω is a verb meaning to heap or pile up, either literally or metaphorically. It appears in the New Testament, notably in Romans 12:20, where it conveys the idea of heaping kindness on an enemy, and in 2 Timothy 3:6, where it suggests being overwhelmed with sins. The word is built from the root for 'heap' and can also imply loading someone with burdens.
σωρεύω: fut. σωρεύσω ; pf. pass. ptep. σεσωρευμένος; (σωρός, ἃ heap); [fr. Aristot. down]; to heap together, to heap up: τὶ ἐπί τι, Ro. xii. 20 (fr. Prov. xxv. 22; see ἄνθραξ) ; τινά τινι, to overwhelm one with a heap of anything: trop. ἁμαρτίαις, to load one with the consciousness of many sins, pass. 2 Tim. iii. 6. [Comp.: ἐπιowpeva. |
σωρεύω occurs in 2 Tim 35 in the sense of ‘‘overwhelm’”’: see Field ores, p. 217, and cf. Bp. Barn. iv. 6 ἐπισωρεύοντας ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν. The subst. σωρός, ‘a heap,” is common in the papyri and ostraca, especially with reference to corn, e.g. P Flor III. 3307 (A.D. 119) αὐτῆς (πυροῦ) σωροῦ (ἀρτάβαι) τ. “Σωσθένης. This proper name (Ac 1817, 1 Cor 11) is found both in the papyriand the inscrr.—P Petr II]. 112(c)?} (iii/B.c.), P Lond 1044°* (vi/A.D.)

The name under both forms is common : see reff. in Preisigke’s Mamenbuch.

The Greek word ἁμαρτία (i.e., *hamartia*) primarily means 'sin' or 'failure to hit the mark.' It encompasses ethical wrongdoing and is used in the New Testament to describe both individual acts of sin and the overarching principle of sin as a dominating force in human life. Various lexicons note its use in contexts such as guilt and the nature of sin, with references in Romans and John highlighting its significance in Christian theology.
παράβασις, παράπτωμα, ἀγνόημα, ἥττημα. A MOURNFULLY numerous group of words, and one which it would be only too easy to make larger still. Nor is it hard to see why. For sin, which we may define in the 240 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. ϑιυχνι. language of Augustine, as ‘ factum vel dictuin yel concuvitum aliquid contra eternam legem’ (Con. Faust. xxii. 27; cf. the Stoic definition, ἁμάρτημα, νόμου ἀπαγόρευμα, Plutarch, De Rep. Stoic. 11); or again, ‘ voluntas admittendi vel retinendi quod justitia vetat, et unde liberum est abstinere’ (Con. Jul. i. 47), may be regarded under an infinite number of aspects, and in all languages has been so regarded; and as the diagnosis of it belongs most of all to the Scriptures, nowhere else are we likely to find it contemplated on so many sides, set forth under such various images. It may be regarded as the missing of a mark or aim; it is then ἁμαρτία…

The Greek word ἐπιθυμία (i.e., *epithumia*) means desire or longing, often with a focus on forbidden things, such as lust. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including Luke 22:15 and Romans 7:7-8. The term is derived from ἐπιθυμέω and can refer to both earnest and inordinate desires. Some lexicons note its use for sexual desire, while others emphasize its broader implications.
Πάθος occurs three times in the N. T.; once coordinated with ἐπιθυμία (Col. 111. 5; for παθήματα and ἐπιθυμίαι in like manner joined together see Gal. v. 24) ; once subordinated to it (πάθος ἐπιθυμίας, 1 Thess. iv. 5); while on the other occasion of its use (Rom. i. 26), the πάθη ἀτιμίας (“ vile affections,” A. V.) are lusts that dishonour those who indulge in them. The word belongs to the terminology of the Greek Schools. Thus Cicero (Tusc. Quest. iv. 5): ‘Que Greci πάθη vocant, nobis perturbationes appellari magis placet quam morbos ;’ on this preference see iii. 10; and presently after he adopts Zeno’s definition, ‘aversa a recté ratione, contra naturam, animi commotio ;’ and elsewhere (Offic. ii. 5), ‘motus animi turbatus.’ The exact definition of Zeno, as given by Diogenes Laértius, is as follows (vii. 1. 68): ἔστι δὲ αὐτὸ τὸ πάθος ἡ ἄλογος καὶ παρὰ φύσιν ψυχῆς κίνησις, ἢ ὁρμὴ…

ποικίλος is an adjective meaning 'many-coloured' or 'variegated.' It conveys a sense of diversity, complexity, or manifold characteristics, appearing in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 4:24 and Hebrews 13:9. The term can refer to physical attributes, like colors, or metaphorically to ideas and experiences.
ποικίλος, -7, -ov, fr. Hom. down, various i. 6. 8: of divers colors, variegated: Sept. Ὁ. i. q. of divers sorts: Mt. iv. 24; Mk. i. 34; Lk. iv. 40; 2 Tim. iii. 6; Tit. iii. 3; Heb. ii. 4; xiii. 9; Jas.i. 2; 1 Pet.i. 6; iv. 10, [(A. V. in the last two exx. manifold) ].
ποικίλος he will leave certain property to the temple—éJyra ὅ[σα] ἐποίησα ἐπ᾽ ὀνόματός σου εἶναι τοῦ [ἐν ᾿Αλεξανδρείᾳ θεοῦ] μεγ[ά]λου Σαράπιδος, ‘all that I placed in your name is the property of the great Serapis at Alexandria.’” In records of manumission, it is frequently stated that an enfranchised slave is free ποιεῖν ὅ ka θέλῃ, ‘Sto do whatever he wills”: see Deissmann (LAZ p. 328f.), who compares Gal 57. For the forms ποῖσαι Lk 118, ποίσας Jn 514 W, see Moulton G7». ii. p. 73, and cf. Archiv iv. p. 492. ΠεποιήKeay, as in Mk 157, is found in J/agz 93(b)*4 (a Senate decree—c. B.C. 190).

Counted over the 17 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
