It implies a thorough and careful adjustment or amendment, often in the context of improving or restoring something to its proper condition. In the New Testament, it is used in the context of church leadership and organization, emphasizing the importance of maintaining order and sound doctrine within the Christian community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of correction and order was highly valued, especially in civic and domestic spheres. The early Christian church, emerging in this cultural milieu, adopted similar principles to ensure the integrity and functionality of its communities. Leaders were tasked with the responsibility of maintaining doctrinal purity and moral conduct, reflecting the broader societal emphasis on order and correction.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and the same as <a href="/greek/1357.htm">diorthóma</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to correct in addition<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>set in order (1).<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 1930: ἐπιδιορθόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιδιορθόω</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">διόρθωσις</span></span>): <span class="accented">to set in order besides or further</span> (what still remains to be set in order (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐπί</span></span>, D. 4)): <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-5.htm">Titus 1:5</a>, where, for the common reading <span class="greek2">ἐπιδιορθώσῃ</span> (1 aorist middle subjunctive), Lachmann has adopted <span class="greek2">ἐπιδιορθωσης</span> (1 aorist active subjunctive).
