A — 1: διόρθωσις

(Strong's #1357 — Noun Feminine — diorthoma — dee-or'-tho-sis )

signifies "a reform, amendment, correction," lit., "a making straight" (dia, "through," orthoo, "to make straight"). In Acts 24:2 , lit., "reformations come about (or take place, lit., 'become')," the RV has "evils are corrected," AV, "worthy deeds are done;" there is no word for "worthy" or for "deeds" in the original. Some texts have katorthoma, which has the same meaning. See diorthosis, "reformation," Hebrews 9:10 .

lit., "a restoration to an upright or right state" (epi, "to," ana, "up, or again," and orthoo, see No. 1), hence, "correction," is used of the Scripture in 2 Timothy 3:16 , referring to improvement of life and character.

(Strong's #3810 — Noun Masculine — paideutes — pahee-dyoo-tace' )
