It is often used in the context of a loving and caring relationship, where the goal is to guide someone towards righteousness and away from error. The term implies a gentle yet firm approach to correction, emphasizing the importance of wisdom and understanding in the process of admonition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of nouthesia was integral to education and moral development. It was seen as a necessary component of teaching, where the instructor would not only impart knowledge but also correct and guide the student towards virtuous living. In the early Christian context, nouthesia was adopted as a means of spiritual formation within the community, reflecting the pastoral care and mutual accountability among believers.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3559</b> <i>nouthesía</i>(a feminine noun derived from <a href="/greek/3560.htm">3560</a> <i>/nouthetéō</i>) – properly, setting (placing) the <i>mind</i> through <i>God-inspired warning</i> ("<i>admonition</i>"). </p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/3559.htm">3559</a> <i>/nouthesía</i> ("warning through teaching") <i>improves a person's reasoning</i> so they can reach <i>God's</i> solution – i.e. by going through <i>His thought-process</i>. <a href="/greek/3560.htm">See 3560</a> (<i>nouthetéō</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[Ro 12:1-3 likewise emphasizes the importance of receiving God's thoughts in the renewed mind, through faith, to reach <i>God's</i> solutions.]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3560.htm">noutheteó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>admonition<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>instruction (2), warning (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 3559: νουθεσία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">νουθεσία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">νουθεσιας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">νουθετέω</span>, which see); <span class="accented">admonition, exhortation</span>: Wis. 16:6; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/10-11.htm">1 Corinthians 10:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/titus/3-10.htm">Titus 3:10</a>; <span class="greek2">κυρίου</span>, such as belongs to the Lord (Christ) or proceeds from him, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/6-4.htm">Ephesians 6:4</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 189 (178)).
