Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The metaphorical use of this word, as in 1 Timothy 4:7, may be illustrated from the popular philosophy of the day—Epict. i. 26. 3 πρῶτον οὖν ἐπὶ τῆς θεωρίας γυμνάζουσιν ἡμᾶς οἱ φιλόσοφοι , ii. 18. 27 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ταῖς ἀληθείαις ἀσκητὴς ὁ πρὸς τὰς τοιαύτας φαντασίας γυμνάζων ἑαυτόν . In PSI I. 93.6 (iii/A.D.) πολλὰ συνεγυμνάσθην πρὸς αὐτούς is presumably, ";I had a good bout with"; certain ἐπίτροποι . So BGU II. 615.25 (ii/A.D.) συ [ν ]γυμνάσθητι ἐ [μ ]πίροις , τί δι᾽ ἡμᾶς πρᾶξε . For the literal sense cf. Syll 804.8 (ii/A.D.) δρόμῳ γυμνάζεσθαι , etc. Ib. 523.28 (iii/B.C.) ὅπως δὲ ἐπιμελῶς ἐν τοῖς μαθήμασιν γυμνάζωνται οἵ τε παῖδες καὶ οἱ ἔφηβοι , τὸν παιδονόμον καὶ τὸν γυμνασίαρχον ἐπιμελεῖσθαι —τὰ μουσικὰ μανθάνειν has occurred just before—shows the beginnings of its extension. P Flor III. 338.4 (iii/A.D.) εὐσεβὲς τὸ πρᾶγμα ποιεῖς , ἐὰν ποιήσῃς τὸ βιβλίδιον ἐκεῖνο ὡς ἐγύμνασα αὐτὸ σύν σοι ἐν τῇ πόλει —the ";practising"; of this petition by the two anxious ἀδελφοί is suggestive. The verb is unchanged in MGr, and still = ";practise.";

[Supplemental from 1930 edition]

γυμνάζω = ";discuss"; = cf. P Flor III. 338.4 (iii/A.D.) έγύμνασα αὐτὸ σύν σοι ἐν τῇ πόλει , and P Lond V. 1717.22 (c. A.D. 560–573).
