It involves a gentle but firm guidance, often with a moral or spiritual focus, aiming to bring about positive change. This term is used in the context of Christian teaching and pastoral care, where the goal is to nurture spiritual growth and maturity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of admonition was a common practice in educational and philosophical settings. Teachers and philosophers would use admonition to guide their students toward wisdom and virtuous living. In the early Christian church, this practice was adopted and adapted to fit the context of spiritual and moral instruction, emphasizing the importance of community accountability and personal holiness.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3560</b> <i>nouthetéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3563.htm">3563</a> <i>/noús</i>, "mind" and <a href="/greek/5087.htm">5087</a> <i>/títhēmi</i>, "to place") – properly, to place the mind, i.e. <i>reasoning</i> with someone by <i>warning</i> (<i>admonishing</i>) them.</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/3560.htm">3560</a> <i>/nouthetéō</i> ("admonish through instruction") especially <i>appeals to the mind</i>, supplying <i>doctrinal and spiritual substance</i> (<i>content</i>).
