STRONGS NT 1318: διδακτός

διδακτός, διδακτη, διδακτον (διδάσκω);

1. that can be taught (Pindar, Xenophon, Plato, others).

2. taught, instructed, followed by a genitive by one (cf. Winers Grammar, 189 (178); 194 (182); Buttmann, 169 (147)): τοῦ θέο, by God, John 6:45 from Isaiah 54:13; πνεύματος ἁγίου (G L T Tr WH omit ἁγίου), by the (Holy) Spirit, 1 Corinthians 2:13. (νουθετηματα κεινα διδακτα, Sophocles El. 344.)

Word Origin: Derived from διδάσκω (didaskō), meaning "to teach."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διδακτός, the concept of being taught or instructed by God is prevalent in the Old Testament. Related Hebrew terms include:
• לָמַד (lamad) • Strong's Hebrew 3925, meaning "to learn" or "to teach."
• יָרָה (yarah) • Strong's Hebrew 3384, meaning "to instruct" or "to direct."

These Hebrew terms reflect the biblical theme of divine instruction and the impartation of wisdom from God to His people, paralleling the New Testament usage of διδακτός.

Usage: The term διδακτός is used in the New Testament to describe knowledge or wisdom that is imparted through teaching, often in a spiritual or divine context.

Context: The Greek term διδακτός appears in the New Testament to emphasize the nature of knowledge or wisdom that is acquired through teaching. It is used to distinguish between human instruction and divine revelation. In 1 Corinthians 2:13, the Apostle Paul contrasts human wisdom with that which is taught by the Spirit: "And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words" (BSB). Here, διδακτός underscores the divine origin of the apostolic message, which is not derived from human intellect but from the Holy Spirit's instruction.

The term also appears in John 6:45, where Jesus refers to the prophetic promise that all will be taught by God: "It is written in the Prophets: 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from Him comes to Me" (BSB). This usage highlights the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and the direct teaching relationship between God and His people through Christ.

In a broader theological context, διδακτός serves to remind believers of the importance of divine instruction and the transformative power of being taught by God. It calls for a reliance on spiritual discernment and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in understanding and applying biblical truths.
