A — 1: παιδεύω

(Strong's #3811 — Verb — paideuo — pahee-dyoo'-o )

primarily denotes "to train children," suggesting the broad idea of education (pais, "a child"), Acts 7:22; 22:3; see also Titus 2:12 , "instructing" (RV), here of a training gracious and firm; grace, which brings salvation, employs means to give us full possession of it; hence, "to chastise," this being part of the training, whether (a) by correcting with words, reproving, and admonishing, 1 Timothy 1:20 (RV, "be taught"); 2 Timothy 2:25 , or (b) by "chastening" by the infliction of evils and calamities, 1 Corinthians 11:32; 2 Corinthians 6:9; Hebrews 12:6,7,10; Revelation 3:19 . The verb also has the meaning "to chastise with blows, to scourge," said of the command of a judge, Luke 23:16,22 . See CORRECTION , B, INSTRUCT , LEARN , TEACH , and cp. CHILD (Nos. 4 to 6).

B — 1: παιδεία

(Strong's #3809 — Noun Feminine — paideia — pahee-di'-ah )

denotes "the training of a child, including instruction;" hence, "discipline, correction," "chastening," Ephesians 6:4 , RV (AV, "nurture"), suggesting the Christian discipline that regulates character; so in Hebrews 12:5,7,8 (in ver. 8, AV, "chastisement," the RV corrects to "chastening"); in 2 Timothy 3:16 , "instruction." See INSTRUCTION , NURTURE.
