Definition: The word "admonitrix" in Greek has no direct biblical translation, but its general meaning is often associated with command or directive. It's a term used in various Christian traditions to describe a person who commands someone else to do something or is stern with them. In particular, it could be used to describe a bishop or religious leader in the context of church governance, especially when they are teaching others about the Bible or giving spiritual guidance. The word "admonitrix" can also refer to a ruler, whether of state (e.g., Caesar) or religion, who is in charge of governing the people. In this sense, it's an official command given by a leader, often under pressure or for personal reasons. In the New Testament context, when Jesus addresses his audience at Gethsemane and Paul gives instructions to Peter about Jesus' death on Calvary (Matthew 26:51-58), they both use "admonitrix" as a command. For example: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the people; baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teach them to observe all things that I have commanded you; for this is my will and your will also." (Matthew 28:19-20)
