1. Most of these words in Ephesians are even built from oik- compounds, echoing the root word of oikonomia.

2. The full range of the use of the word economy makes for a fascinating study. For a useful tool that shows all its occurrences but requires no knowledge of Greek, see W. E. Vine, Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (Old Tappan, NJ: Fleming Revell, 1981), under the entry “dispensation” but also under “stewardship.” The word-study method is a rich way of reading the Bible, but there are certain temptations to beware of. Words are not concepts, and etymologies are not meanings. D. A. Carson’s book Exegetical Fallacies, 2nd ed. (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 1996) has a helpful section, “Word-Study Fallacies” (27–65). In my use of the word oikonomia here, I have been careful to derive its meaning from Paul’s use of it and then to use the “house-law” etymology as a source of illustration. But in its theological usage, economy means “history,” not “house.”
