Strong's Lexicon noutheteó: To admonish, to warn, to instruct Original Word: νουθετέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: noutheteó Pronunciation: noo-thet-eh'-o Phonetic Spelling: (noo-thet-eh'-o) Definition: To admonish, to warn, to instruct Meaning: I admonish, warn, counsel, exhort. Word Origin: From the Greek words νοῦς (nous, meaning "mind") and τίθημι (tithēmi, meaning "to place" or "to put"), thus literally "to put in mind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "noutheteó," the concept of admonition can be seen in Hebrew words like יָסַר (yasar, Strong's H3256), meaning "to discipline" or "to instruct." Usage: The verb "noutheteó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of admonishing or warning someone with the intent of correcting behavior or beliefs. It involves a gentle but firm guidance, often with a moral or spiritual focus, aiming to bring about positive change. This term is used in the context of Christian teaching and pastoral care, where the goal is to nurture spiritual growth and maturity. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of admonition was a common practice in educational and philosophical settings. Teachers and philosophers would use admonition to guide their students toward wisdom and virtuous living. In the early Christian church, this practice was adopted and adapted to fit the context of spiritual and moral instruction, emphasizing the importance of community accountability and personal holiness. HELPS Word-studies 3560 nouthetéō (from 3563 /noús, "mind" and 5087 /títhēmi, "to place") – properly, to place the mind, i.e. reasoning with someone by warning (admonishing) them. 3560 /nouthetéō ("admonish through instruction") especially appeals to the mind, supplying doctrinal and spiritual substance (content). This "exerts positive pressure" on someone's logic (reasoning), i.e. urging them to choose (turn to) God's best. [This root (nouthe-) does not strictly mean "chastise," though this can be involved – i.e. with needed admonishing, correcting, exhortation, etc.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from nous and tithémi Definition to admonish, exhort NASB Translation admonish (5), admonishing (2), give...instruction (1).
