2nd Timothy 2:2
(NIV)
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
(TNIV)
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
Does the word “anthropos” translated as “men” in the NIV refer only to men? The TNIV translates it as “people.”

The interlinear Greek also translates it as “people.” But note that the English translation on the right translates the word “anthropos” as “men” rather than as people.
So should Bible translators be translating it as “men” or as “people.” What do you say?
