Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Workers at home (oikourgouv). So the oldest MSS. (from oikos, ergou) instead of oikourouv, keepers at home (from koiso, ourov, keeper). Rare word, found in Soranus, a medical writer, Field says. Cf. I Timothy 5:13. "Keepers at home" are usually "workers at home."
Kind (agaqav). See Romans 5:7. See Colossians 3:18; Ephesians 5:22 for the same use of upotassomai, to be in subjection. Note idioiv (their own). See I Timothy 6:1 for the same negative purpose clause (ina mh blasfhmhtai).
