φῐλόνῑκ-ος G5380
Contentious, quarrelsome, given to disputation and love of victory in arguments
The adjectival form of φιλονικία describes those who make everything an argument to win. First Corinthians 11:16 uses it to shut down potential objections to Paul's teaching on worship: 'If anyone seems contentious about this, we have no such custom.' Classical usage could be positive (spirited horses, competitive excellence) or negative (quarrelsome persons), but Paul's context is clearly pejorative. The compound structure (loving-victory, ami-des-querelles) reveals the pathology: not principled disagreement but addiction to disputation itself. Some people love arguing more than truth.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Characterized by contentiousness and quarrelsome disputation, loving to win arguments regardless of substance. First Corinthians 11:16 employs it to address those who might object to Paul's worship instructions, effectively dismissing such contention as procedurally out of bounds. The compound (loving-victory, contencioso, streitsuchtig) indicates dispositional quarrelsomeness—making arguments for argument's sake rather than pursuing truth or unity. 1×
