A. Verbs.
kathcevw 2727 to teach orally,
inform, instruct, is translated by the verb to instruct in Luke 1:4; Acts
18:25 (R.V. marg., "taught by word of mouth"); Rom. 2:18; 1 Cor. 14:19, R.V.
(A.V., "teach").
paideuvw 3811 to train children, teach, is rendered "was instructed," in Acts
7:22, R.V. (A.V., "learned"); "instructing" in 2 Tim. 2:25, A.V. (R.V.,
"correcting"); Tit. 2:12, R.V., "instructing" (A.V., "teaching"). The verb
is used of the family discipline, as in Heb. 12:6, 7, 10; cp. 1 Cor. 11:32;
2 Cor. 6:9; Rev. 3:19. In 1 Tim. 1:20 (Passive Voice) it is translated
"might be taught," R.V. (A.V., "may learn"), but, "however the passage is to
be understood, it is clear that not the impartation of knowledge but severe
discipline is intended. In Luke 23:16, 22, Pilate, since he had declared the
Lord guiltless of the charge brought against Him, and hence could not punish
Him, weakly offered, as a concession to the Jews, to ‘chastise,
paideuoµ, Him, and let Him go.’ "*
This sense of
paideuoµ is confirmed by Heb. 12:6,
where it is joined (in a quotation from the Sept. of Prov. 3:12) with to
lash or scourge. Cp. the scene in the Pilgrim’s Progress where a
shining one with a whip of small cords "chastised sore" the pilgrims
foolishly caught in the net of the flatterer and said to them, "As many as I
love I rebuke and chasten" (paideuoµ).
maqhteuvw 3100 used transitively, to make
a disciple, is translated "which is instructed" in Matt. 13:52, A.V. (R.V.,
"who hath been made a disciple").
muevw 3453 to initiate into the mysteries, is
used in the Passive Voice, in Phil. 4:12, A.V., "I am instructed," R.V.,
"have I learned the secret." ¶
probibavzw 4264 to lead forward, lead on
(the causal of probainoµ, to go
forward; pro, forward, bibazoµ, to lift up), is used in the
Passive Voice in Matt. 14:8, and translated, A.V., "being before instructed"
R.V., "being put forward."
sumbibavzw 4822 to join, knit, unite (sun,
with), then, to compare, and so, to prove, hence, to teach, instruct, is so
rendered in 1 Cor. 2:16; it is found in the best mss. in Acts 19:33 (R.V.
marg., "instructed").
B. Nouns
(Instruction)
paideiva 3809 training, instruction, is
translated "instruction" in 2 Tim. 3:16.
(Instructor)
paidagwwovV 3807 a guide, or
guardian or trainer of boys, lit., a child–leader (pais,
a boy, or child, agoµ, to lead), a
tutor, is translated "instructors" in 1 Cor. 4:15, A.V. (R.V., "tutors");
here the thought is that of pastors rather than teachers; in Gal. 3:24, 25,
A.V., "schoolmaster" (R.V., "tutor,"), but here the idea of instruction is
absent. "In this and allied words the idea is that of training, discipline,
not of impartation of knowledge. The
paidagoµgos was not the instructor of the child; he exercised a
general supervision over him and was responsible for his moral and physical
well–being. Thus understood, paidagoµgos
is appropriately used with ‘kept in ward’ and ‘shut up,’ whereas to
understand it as equivalent to ‘teacher’ introduces an idea entirely foreign
to the passage, and throws the Apostle’s argument into confusion."*
paideuthvV 3810 akin to A, No. 2, denotes
(a an instructor, a teacher, Rom. 2:20, A.V., "an instructor" (R.V.,
"a corrector"); (b) one who disciplines, corrects, chastens, Heb.
12:9, R.V., "to chasten" [A.V., "which corrected" (lit., ‘correctors’)]. In
(a) the discipline of the school is in view; in (b) that of
the family. See Corrector. |
