Usage:The term "paidion" is used in the New Testament to refer to a young child or infant. It often conveys a sense of innocence, dependency, and the need for care and guidance. The diminutive form emphasizes the smallness or youth of the child, highlighting their vulnerability and the nurturing required.

Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, children were considered part of the household but had little social status. They were under the authority of their parents and were expected to learn and grow under their guidance. In Jewish culture, children were seen as a blessing from God, and their upbringing was closely tied to religious instruction and community life. The use of "paidion" in the New Testament often reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the importance of nurturing and teaching children in the faith.
