I have a website for ladies, and lately we women have been studying Titus 2:3-5. This week, we are looking at the phrase "keepers at home" in particular. My very old copy of Strong's concordance defines the word "keepers" as "stayers at home; ie. domestically inclined." However, newer Bible dictionaries online define it as "workers" or "taking care of domestic affairs." I found it strange that this is the only usage of this Greek word in the Bible, at least as far as I can tell. It seems fishy that older dictionaries defined this word as "staying" at home, where more recent dictionaries seem to broaden the meaning. I wish I knew Greek myself so that I didn't have to rely on others' definitions. But in my opinion, it seems that if God was careful enough to use a highly-specific word here (so specific that it's not used any where else in the Bible), why are modern definitions so broad?
