The Greek [word] “kosmios” [often translated “respectable”] appears only twice in the New Testament: [in 1 Timothy 3:2] and just verses earlier in 1 Timothy 2:9. However, “kosmios” is largely synonymous with “semnos”, which the ESV translates as “dignified” in 1 Timothy 2:2; 3:8, 11; and Titus 2:2. (Related is the noun “dignity” in 1 Timothy 3:4 and Titus 2:7).
