'In the original Greek...'

I swear that if I ever do find a bishop foolish enough to ordain me, I'll never use the above phrase in a sermon.

However, the Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich-Danker Greek-English Lexicon of the NT and other early Christian literature simply defines gameth (gamete) as "wife." They cite a number of classical Greek references, as well as 4 Maccabees 2:11 and 1 Clement 6:3.

I really wasn't trying to prove anything, though. Just bein' a goof. Sadly, I forgot to put the smiley face in place, so y'all took me seriously. (sigh)
