Aner and gune should be translated in
1 Timothy 2:9-15 in the same way as in
1 Peter 3:1-6: by “husband” and “wife” and not by “man” and “woman.” When Paul spoke elsewhere about man in relation to woman rather than about husband in relation to wife, he used other combinations of terms than aner and gune, as here. In
Romans 1:26-27 he used arsen, man, in contrast with thelys, woman. Significantly, these two are the terms that most stress gender. Had Paul had the male sex and the female sex in mind in
1 Timothy 2:12, those terms would have been more appropriate.
