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.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

παιδεύω. For the meaning “discipline,” ‘‘chasten,” which this verb frequently has in Paul, cf. the abject appeal of a prodigal to his mother, bGU III. 846" (ii/a.p.) (= Selections, p. 94) παιπαίδδευμαι καθ᾽ ὃν δῖ (/. δεῖ) τρόπον, “chastened I have been as I deserve.” The meaning is more ge:eral ‘‘instruct,’’ *‘bring up,” in PSI IV. 424% (ili/B.C.) ἐστὶν δὲ πεπαιδευμένος πᾶσαν παιδείαν, and BGU II. 4235 (ἃ soldier to his father—ii/A.D.) (= se/ectzons, p- 91) pe ἐπαίδευσας καλῶς. See also Sy// 518 (=% 956)4 (2nd hal! v/B.c.) ὅπως ἂν ot παῖδες παιδεύωνται οἱ ἐν παιδεύθην, παίδευσα. Kennedy (Sources, p. 102) cites Polyb. il. 9.6 παιδεύεσθαι πρὸς τὸ μέλλον, ‘ recevoir une bonne legon pour l’avenir” (Schweighauser). For the stronger meaning of actual blows in Lk 2318, see Wetstein ad Δ, and cf. the use of νουθετέω in Plut. Sertor. 19 πληγαῖς νουθετήσας, and Headlam’s note on Herodas VIL. 11.
