Strong's Lexicon apaideutos: Uneducated, undisciplined, ignorant Original Word: ἀπαίδευτος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and παιδεύω (paideuō, "to educate" or "to discipline") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "apaideutos," the concept of lacking wisdom or understanding can be found in words like פֶּתִי (pethi, Strong's H6612), meaning "simple" or "naive," and אֱוִיל (ewil, Strong's H191), meaning "foolish." Usage: The term "apaideutos" is used to describe someone who is lacking in education or discipline. In a biblical context, it often refers to a lack of spiritual understanding or moral instruction. The word implies a deficiency in the knowledge or training necessary for proper conduct or belief. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, education (paideia) was highly valued, encompassing not only intellectual training but also moral and physical development. The term "apaideutos" would have carried a negative connotation, suggesting a person who had not been properly formed or instructed according to societal and cultural standards. In the Jewish context, education was also crucial, particularly in understanding the Law and the Prophets.
