UNLEARNED

un-lur'-ned: Acts 4:13 for agrammatos, literally "illiterate." But nothing more than "lacking technical rabbinical instruction" seems to be meant (compare John 7:15). 1 Corinthians 14:16, 23, 24 for idiotes, "private person," the Revised Version margin "he that is without gifts," correctly expresses the sense ("unbeliever" is hardly in point); also the King James Version, 2 Timothy 2:23 2 Peter 3:16 (the Revised Version (British and American) "ignorant").
