Semantic entry: 33.303

Semantic domains: Communication

Subdomains: Urge, Persuade

Definition: (derivative of πείθω[a] ‘to persuade,’ 33.301: πείθω) the means by which someone is caused to believe

Notes: It is also possible to interpret πεισμονή in RV GAL 5:8 · LV GAL 5:8 · Read together GAL 5:8 as the actual process of persuasion, in which case πεισμονή would be classified as a nominal form corresponding to πείθω[a] (33.301: πείθω). Such an interpretation would require one to render RV GAL 5:8 · LV GAL 5:8 · Read together GAL 5:8 as he who called you was not the one who persuaded you.
