nûr´t̬ū́r : The word occurs in the King James Version in Ephesians 6:4 as the translation of παιδεία , paideı́a , but the Revised Version (British and American) changes to "chastening," and uses "nurture" (verb) for the King James Version "bring up" (ἐκτρέφω , ektréphō ) in the first part of the verse. Paideia has the idea of training and correction; in the Revised Version (British and American) 2 Esdras 8:12 for Latin erudio; and compare the King James Version The Wisdom of Solomon 3:11; Sirach 18:13 (paideúō ), etc.
