Strong's Lexicon epidiorthoó: To set in order, to correct, to amend Original Word: ἐπιδιορθόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: epidiorthoó Pronunciation: ep-ee-dee-or-THO-o Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-dee-or-tho'-o) Definition: I set in order besides, put in order, correct. Meaning: To set in order, to correct, to amend, or to make right. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb διορθόω (diorthóō, meaning "to set straight" or "to correct"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπιδιορθόω, the concept of setting things in order or correcting can be related to several Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings. Some of these include: - יָשַׁר (yashar) • to be straight, right, or upright. - תִּקּוּן (tiqqun) • correction, rectification, or setting right. These Hebrew terms, like ἐπιδιορθόω, emphasize the importance of alignment with divine standards and the pursuit of righteousness and order within the community of faith. Usage: The term ἐπιδιορθόω is used in the context of correcting or setting things in order, particularly in a communal or organizational setting. It implies a process of improvement or rectification. Context: The Greek verb ἐπιδιορθόω appears in the New Testament in the context of church leadership and governance. It is used to describe the act of setting things in order within the church, particularly in relation to appointing leaders and addressing issues that may arise within the congregation. In Titus 1:5, the Apostle Paul instructs Titus, "The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you." Here, ἐπιδιορθόω is translated as "put in order," indicating the responsibility Titus has to correct and organize the church structure in Crete. This involves not only addressing any deficiencies but also establishing a framework for effective leadership and governance. The use of ἐπιδιορθόω underscores the importance of maintaining order and integrity within the church. It reflects a proactive approach to leadership, where issues are addressed, and improvements are made to ensure the health and growth of the Christian community. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of order and righteousness, emphasizing the need for structure and accountability in spiritual matters.
