Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἀγωγή, (ῆς, (from ἄγω, like ἐδωδή from ἔδω);

1. properly, a leading.

2. figuratively,

a. transitive, a conducting, training, education, discipline.

b. intransitive, the life led, way or course of life (a use which arose from the fuller expression ἀγωγή τοῦ βίου, in Polybius 4, 74, 1, 4; cf. German Lebensführung): 2 Timothy 3:10 (R. V. conduct) (Esther 2:20; 2 Macc. 4:16; ἐν Χριστῷ ἀγωγή, Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 47, 6 [ET]; ἁγνή ἀγωγή, ibid. 48, 1 [ET]). Often in secular authors in all these senses.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The figurative sense of ἀγωγή, as in 2 Timothy 3:10, may be paralleled from P Par 61.11 f. (B.C. 156) πάντα ἐστὶν ἀλλότρια τῆς τε ἡμῶν ἀγωγῆς, P Tebt I. 24.57 (B.C. 117) μ [ο ]χθηρὰν ἀγωγήν. Cf. OGIS 223.15 (iii/B.C.) φαίνεσθε γὰρ καθόλου ἀγωγῆι ταύτῃ χρῆσθαι, and ib. 474.9 (i/A.D.) διὰ [τὴν κοσμιωτάτην αὐτῆς ] ἀγωγήν with Dittenberger’s note. A good example is also afforded by Magn 164.3 (i/ii A.D.) ἤθει καὶ ἀγωγῇ κόσμιον. As action-noun to ἄγειν, it means ";freightage"; in Syll 587.17 (B.C. 329–8, Attic) τῆς τομῆς τῶν λίθων καὶ τῆς ἀγωγῆς καὶ τῆς θέσεως. Hence ";load,"; ";freight,"; cf. Wilcken Ostr. ii. 707 (Ptol.) ἀχύρου ἀγω (γὴν) ἕνα (sic), ib. 1168 εἰς τὰς καμείνους ἀγω (γαί) (sc. ἀχύρου) : so P Oxy IX. 1197.10 (A.D. 211), P Lond 1164(h).7 and .24 (A.D. 212) ( = III. p. 164 f.). Ἀγωγὴν ποιεῖσθαι = ";carry off,"; ";arrest,"; is found in P Tebt I. 39.22 f. (B.C. 114) and ib. 48.22 f. (c. B.C. 113), and in P Fay 12.81 (c. B.C. 103) the substantive occurs in the sense of ";abduction."; For . as a legal term see P Lond 951.4 (A.D. 249) ( = III. p. 221) ὁμολογῶ μηδεμίαν ἀγωγὴν ἔχειν κατὰ μηδένα τ ̣ρ ̣[όπ ]ον πρός σε, and cf. Archiv iv. p. 466.
