κόσμ-ιος G2887
orderly, modest, respectable, well-behaved
This adjective means well-ordered, decent, modest, or respectable in behavior or appearance. Paul uses it twice in the Pastoral Epistles: women should adorn themselves in 'respectable apparel' (κατασκευῇ κοσμίῳ, 1 Tim 2:9), emphasizing modesty over ostentation. An overseer must be 'respectable' (κόσμιον, 1 Tim 3:2), possessing dignified, orderly conduct. Classical usage applied it to orderly citizens, modest behavior, and well-regulated conduct. The word emphasizes propriety, decorum, and the kind of well-ordered life that befits believers, particularly leaders.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — First Timothy 2:9 instructs women to adorn themselves 'in respectable apparel' (κοσμίῳ κατάστολῇ) with modesty. First Timothy 3:2 requires an overseer to be 'respectable' (κόσμιον), among other qualities. The multilingual glosses are somewhat sparse: Spanish 'decoroso' (decorous), English 'respectable,' German and French simply transliterate 'κοσμίῳ/κόσμιον' or use 'anständig' (decent). The root κόσμος (order, ornament) shines through—this is about well-ordered, fitting, appropriate behavior and appearance. 2×
