Encourage, Encouragement
<A-1,Verb,4389,protrepo>
"to urge forward, persuade," is used in Acts 18:27 in the Middle Voice, RV, "encouraged," indicating their particular interest in giving Apollos the "encouragement" mentioned; the AV, "exhorting," wrongly connects the verb.
<A-2,Verb,3888,paramutheomai>
from para, "with," and muthos, "counsel, advice," is translated "encouraging" in 1 Thess. 2:11, RV, and "encourage" in 1 Thess. 5:14, RV, there signifying to stimulate to the discharge of the ordinary duties of life. In John 11:19,31, it means "to comfort." See COMFORT. Cp. the nouns paramuthia, 1 Cor. 14:3, and paramuthion, Phil 2:1, "comfort."
<B-1,Noun,3874,paraklesis>
"a calling to one's aid" (para, "by the side," kaleo, "to call"), then, "an exhortation, encouragement," is translated "encouragement" in Heb. 6:18, RV, for AV, "consolation;" it is akin to parakaleo, "to beseeach or exhort, encourage, comfort," and parakletos, "a paraclete or advocate." See COMFORT, CONSOLATION, EXHORTATION, INTREATY.
