Strong's Lexicon epidiorthoó: To set in order, to correct, to amend Original Word: ἐπιδιορθόω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and διορθόω (diorthoó, meaning "to set straight" or "to correct"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπιδιορθόω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like יָשַׁר (yashar, Strong's H3474), meaning "to make straight" or "to direct," and תָּקַן (taqan, Strong's H8626), meaning "to make straight" or "to adjust." Usage: The verb ἐπιδιορθόω is used to describe the act of setting something right or correcting it. It implies a thorough and careful adjustment or amendment, often in the context of improving or restoring something to its proper condition. In the New Testament, it is used in the context of church leadership and organization, emphasizing the importance of maintaining order and sound doctrine within the Christian community. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of correction and order was highly valued, especially in civic and domestic spheres. The early Christian church, emerging in this cultural milieu, adopted similar principles to ensure the integrity and functionality of its communities. Leaders were tasked with the responsibility of maintaining doctrinal purity and moral conduct, reflecting the broader societal emphasis on order and correction.
