Mike, the word group in Greek is the compound PARA + AINEW. The verb is
PARANEW - to admonish, advise. The noun is PARAINESIS - admonition or
advice, with the adjective PARAINETIKOS - admonitory and the further noun
PARAINETHS - an exhorter or advisor. The term is used in biblical studies
with reference to lists of vices and virtues used by moral philosophers and
also some NT writers.
