Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
τεκνογονία [page 628]
Ramsay Teaching p. 170 ff. tries to show that, while τεκνογονέω is used in a physical sense in 1Ti_5:14 , the abstract noun τεκνογονία in 1Ti_2:15 points rather to the power of maternal instinct or motherhood. But it is by no means clear that the writer did not use the two words with the same connotation. In any case it is not likely that, with Ellicott and other commentators, we are to stress the article and in τῆς τεκνογονίας of 1Ti_2:15 find a reference to the (great) child-bearing, i.e. the bearing of Jesus, foreshadowed in Gen_3:16 .
