faithfulness, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word.

Quite simply, a perfect list of everything that would have been absolutely stressed as essentials in the classical Hellene philosophies. Basically Christianity, Islam &Judaism at their best & highest expressions are just forms instituionalized earlier profound Greek Philosophy. With heavy does of that accrued wisdom literature that predates Abraham by some 5000yrs Life, the emrgence of civilization & evolution is always continuum, small changes over time.

That emergent pacifism, yielding & philosophical bent of the stubborn violent orthodox Hebrew mind, so stressing ethnic purity & exclusion, was completely altered & modified by that huge Hellene cultural influx dominance which opened up a cosomopolitan outlook which was inclusive ie: the proto-Christian evolutionary offshoot.

Evolution is everywhere, God is change, but having the Greeks come in, their language & culture adopted starting in 300BC, thats where everything is altered, God becomes God of all nations. a much larger cosmology meditated on, that replaces the old 'scape goat' tiny tribal origins.

(and cursing fig trees & swines )

The Ancient Greeks didn't honor their women? They had no respect in their society? You lower ranking imbeciles just can't make lies fast enough, its in your fantasy & fable DNA. (indoctrinated fool)

Ancient Macedonian funerary painting. This cist-grave found intact has been decorated with painted garlands and architectural elements. The remains of a woman were found inside. She had been adorned with all her jewellery and rich grave offerings were arrayed around her. Found during rescue excavations in the military airport of Sedes, in 1938. (320-300 B.C)
