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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, παιδεία was a comprehensive term that included the upbringing and education of children, covering both intellectual and moral instruction. It was considered essential for the development of a well-rounded individual. In the context of the New Testament, this concept is applied to the spiritual growth of believers, emphasizing the importance of divine discipline as a means of cultivating holiness and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from peza (the instep)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a fetter, shackle<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>shackles (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3976: πέδη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πέδη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πεδης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">πέζα</span> the foot, instep), <span class="accented">a fetter, shackle for the feet</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/5-4.htm">Mark 5:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a>.
