I'm looking for commentaries/publications regarding use of word 'γυναικα' in 1 Tim 3:11.
I need commentaries, which would cover following concepts:
- γυναικα - the wife [of a Deacon]
- γυναικα - a woman [in general]
- γυναικα - a woman [Deacon]
-

Just as 'man' in Greek may be a single man or a husband, so γυναῖκας is a woman or a wife. Paul uses the wording διακονον (female deacon) in referring to Phoebe in Romans 16:1. If the woman's husband is not stated, there would be no way of knowing if she is the wife of a deacon or the wife of a brother in the church.– Nigel JMar 19 at 20:50

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.– agarzaMar 20 at 13:17
