Definition: The word "admonitively" comes from the Greek phrase "admonis," which means to command or instruct, and "toitikai," which means to say or speak with a loud voice, especially for someone's benefit or advantage. In biblical context, it refers to a direct, firm statement of opinion or advice. For example: - The apostle Paul addresses his readers in the book of Acts as if he were making an admonition (Acts 20:4), saying that they should "keep watch on your own souls" and not allow things to harm their lives. - Peter is called upon by Jesus to "command the Jews," explaining that they need to "be careful to do everything in honor of God, without being wise or learned." (Matthew 25:10) The word "admonitively" emphasizes a direct command, usually with a strong and firm tone. It's like giving someone a stern warning about something they should avoid or be careful about.
