Oct 10, 2022 at 2:15 comment added Dottard This question is about Nymphas not Junia. Ask another question. This is NOT the place for debate.
Oct 10, 2022 at 1:33 comment added Alex Balilo @Michael16 and Dottard. Jesus selected 12 male apostles. Are there verses in the bible that teaches or show women held the office of an apostle. Ἰουνιᾶν is the Greek form of the Hebrew male name Yehunni according to Albert Wolters. Albert Wolters, “ΙΟΥΝΙΑΝ (Romans 16:7) and the Hebrew Name Yehunni,” Journal of Biblical Literature 127 (2008): 397–408.
Oct 9, 2022 at 9:18 comment added Michael16 @AlexBalilo συγγενεῖς syngeneis means cousin or relative, it is not a necessarily masculine. She is called his family person or relative. Junia is a woman. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/…
Oct 9, 2022 at 5:31 comment added Alex Balilo @Dottard. Junia is one of Paul's kinsmen. Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.
Oct 8, 2022 at 7:51 comment added Dottard @AlexBalilo - Ἰουνίαν is feminine. See biblehub.com/interlinear/romans/16-7.htm
Oct 8, 2022 at 6:46 comment added Alex Balilo Junia was a male.
Oct 8, 2022 at 4:05 comment added Michael16 You should not simply list the two mss traditions bazyntine and the oldest presenting them equal. You should try to answer the que which variant is better. Byzantine is a 5 or 6 century onwards corrupted text. Also correct your error on Junia Romans 16:7. Terrible irrelevent error.
Oct 6, 2022 at 21:30 comment added Sola Gratia My views are not necessarily relevant, but I hold the traditional view yes.
Oct 6, 2022 at 19:10 comment added Faith Mendel @SolaGratia Seems you are against the view of Female Leadership in the Government of the Kingdom/church
Oct 6, 2022 at 17:16 comment added Sola Gratia A few 2c re. your appendix: Junia is not called an apostle, but said to be of repute "among the apostles" (i.e. of repute 'among them' as used in the sense of 'by them[i.e. who are apostles]'). And that the church meets "at her house" (Nympha's) doesn't mean she is an elder or leader — hosting a house church, and being the leader, are two different things. John writes to "the chosen lady" — but it's absolutely ambiguous as to who is the referent. It's most likely a specific church rather than a woman, as ekklesia is a feminine noun (and compare 2 Jn 1:13 and 1 Pet 5:13!).
