I am having problems finding my notes, as far as word study goes, the quickest way for me to evidence that is go to strong's concordance online then look at the Thayer's Lexicon they have on that sight. I can help further if you are having problems with it but it's pretty simple once you get the hang of it.
A couple other things while I am here. First if you notice Proverbs 31 the Wife of Noble character, this is the picture of a wife living both in submission and as a godly wife should. One of the things I discovered when I did this study...well, let me back up just a moment. I have been studying Biblical Love full time for over 10 years now in one of the studies we looked at how to Love in our relationships. That led us to compare Isaiah 53 how Christ loved the church with Proverbs 31 the wife of noble character. I strongly suggest anyone interested in understanding roles do the study it is amaze but way to long to include here. So back to what I wanted to say...in that study I looked not only at what was directly stated and cross referenced that with the totality of scripture but I also looked at the symbolism. In that passage, the wife of noble character talks to, does business with, etc. the powerful men in the community this is in the form of business but notice she also sits at the temple gates. This is the place where the "teachers" or men sat to discuss the things of God...kind of like sitting in church and talking about what scripture says and teaches. IOW's she not only does business with the powerful men of the world at the time but she also sits among the teachers of the temple and contributes.
So three things to summarize...1. the word study 2. the study is amazingly helpful 3. the wife of noble character is both authority in business and in church whether that applies to the teaching in question or not I will leave to you to decide.
