Usage: In the New Testament, παιδεία (paideia) primarily refers to the process of training and educating, often with a focus on moral and spiritual development. It encompasses both the positive aspects of instruction and the corrective aspects of discipline. The term is used to describe the nurturing and guiding role of God as a Father who disciplines His children for their growth and maturity in righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, παιδεία was a comprehensive term that included the upbringing and education of children, covering both intellectual and moral instruction.
