ὀργή, ὀργῆς, ἡ (from ὀργάω to teem, denoting an internal motion, especially that of plants and fruits swelling with juice (Curtius, § 152); cf. Latinturgere alicui forirasci alicui in Plautus Cas. 2, 5, 17; Most. 3, 2, 10; cf. German arg, Aerger), in Greek writings from Hesiod down "the natural disposition, temper, character; movement or agitation of soul, impulse, desire, any violent emotion," but especially (and chiefly in Attic) anger. In Biblical Greek anger, wrath, indignation (on the distinction between it and θυμός, see θυμός, 1): Ephesians 4:31; Colossians 3:8; James 1:19f; μετ' ὀργῆς, indignant (A. V. with anger), Mark 3:5; χωρίς ὀργῆς, 1 Timothy 2:8; anger exhibited in punishing, hence, used for the punishment itself (Demosthenes or. in middle § 43): of the punishments inflicted by magistrates, Romans 13:4; διά τήν ὀργήν, i. e. because disobedience is visited with punishment, Romans 13:5. The ὀργή attributed to God in the N. T. is that in God which stands opposed to man's disobedience, obduracy (especially in resisting the gospel) and sin, and manifests itself in punishing the same: John 3:36; Romans 1:18; Romans 4:15; Romans 9:22a; Hebrews 3:11; Hebrews 4:3; Revelation 14:10; Revelation 16:19; Revelation 19:15; absolutely, ἡ ὀργή, Romans 12:19 (cf. Winer's Grammar, 594 (553)); σκεύη ὀργῆς, vessels into which wrath will be poured (at the last day), explained by the addition κατηρτισμένα εἰς ἀπώλειαν, Romans 9:22b; ἡ μελλουσα ὀργή, which at the last day will be exhibited in penalties, Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7 (others understand in these two passages the (national) judgments immediately impending to be referred to — at least primarily); also ἡ ὀργή ἡ ἐρχομένη, 1 Thessalonians 1:10; ἡμέρα ὀργῆς, the day on which the wrath of God will be made manifest in the punishment of the wicked (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 30, 2 a.), Romans 2:5; and ἡ ἡμέρα ἡ μεγάλη τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ (Revelation 6:17; see ἡμέρα, 3 at the end); ἔρχεται ἡ ὀργή τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπί τινα, the wrath of God cometh upon one in the infliction of penalty (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 40, 2 a.), Ephesians 5:6; Colossians 3:6 (T Tr WH omit; L brackets ἐπί etc.); ἔφθασε (ἔφθακεν L text WH marginal reading) ἐπ' αὐτούς ἡ ὀργή, 1 Thessalonians 2:16; so ἡ ὀργή passes over into the notion of retribution and punishment, Luke 21:23; Rom. (Romans 2:8);

The idea of ";discipline"; is uppermost in the NT occurrences of this word (Ephesians 6:4, 2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 12:5; Hebrews 12:7-8; Hebrews 12:11), but also for the more general sense of ";training,"; ";education,"; both on the intellectual and moral sides, exx. can be freely quoted from the papyri, as BGU IV. 1140.6 (B.C. 4) τῷ πατρὶ [τῆ ]ς ἀρε ̣σ ̣κ ̣ούσης παιδείας, P Oxy II. 265.24 (A.D. 81–95) τὴν πρέ ]πουσαν ἐλευθέροις παισὶ παιδείαν, and from the inscrr., as Syll 523 (=.3 578).61 (ii/B.C.) τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἐπιδοθὲν. . . εἰς τὴν παιδείαν τῶν ἐλευθέρων παίδων, and ib..3 836.5 (A.D. 125–7) ἀνὴρ ἤθει καὶ παιδείᾳ διαφέρων. A Laconian inscr. in Ann. Br. Sch. at Athens xii. p. 460 honours a boy κ [οσμι ]ότατος καὶ παιδείας ἕνεκα (sedulitatis causa. (Ed.)) : cf. CIG I. 1376.2 ἤθει τε φιλοσόφῳ καὶ παιδ [ε ]ία ̣ καὶ τοῖς λόγοις διαφέροντα τῶν ἡλίκων, and ib. 1375 where παιδεία is joined with σωφροσύνη. See also Kaibel 152.9 f. (ii/B.C.) ὥς τε μάλιστα παιδείᾳ πινυτῇ καὶ σοφίῃ μελόμην.
