33.303 · Communication · Urge, Persuade
that which persuades, the means of convincing (derivative of πείθω[a] ‘to persuade,’ 33.301) the means by which someone is caused to believe It is also possible to interpret πεισμονή in GAL 5:8 as the actual process of persuasion, in which case πεισμονή would be classified as a nominal form corresponding to πείθω[a] (33.301). Such an interpretation would require one to render GAL 5:8 as he who called you was not the one who persuaded you.
