1 παιδεύω[a] and παιδεία[a] (33.226) differ in meaning from νουθετέω[a] and νουθεσία[a] (33.231) and from ἐντρέφω (33.242). παιδεύω[a] and παιδεία[a] focus upon the forming of proper habits of behavior, while νουθετέω[a] and νουθεσία[a] focus upon instruction in correct behavior. ἐντρέφω appears to focus more on continuous instruction and training in the areas of skill and practical knowledge.
