Sept. for
מַחֲשָׁבָה and Chaldean
רַעְיון, in Greek writings from Plato down,
the thinking of a man deliberating with himself; hence,
1. a thought, inward reasoning:
Luke 2:35;
Luke 5:22;
Luke 6:8;
Luke 9:46;
Romans 14:1 [yet some bring this under 2];
the reasoning of those who think themselves to be wise,
Romans 1:21;
1 Corinthians 3:20;
an opinion:
κριταὶ διαλογισμῶν πονηρῶν, judges with evil thoughts,
i. e. who follow perverse opinions, reprehensible principles,
James 2:4 [cf. Winers Grammar, 187 (176)];
purpose, design:
Matthew 15:19;
Mark 7:21.
2. a deliberating, questioning, about what is true:
Luke 24:38; when in reference to what ought to be done,
hesitation, doubting:
χωρίς γογγυσμῶν καί διαλογισμῶν,
Philippians 2:14 ['
γογγ. is the moral,
διαλ. the intellectual rebellion against God' Bp. Lightfoot];
χωρὶς ὀργῆς κ.
διαλογισμοῦ,
1 Timothy 2:8; [in the last two passages others still advocate the rendering
disputing; yet cf. Meyer on Philippians the passage cited].
