Use Strong's responsibly

Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon

πιθανολογίᾳ, πιθανολογιας, (from πιθανολόγος; and this from πιθανός, on which see πειθός, and λόγος), speech adapted to persuade, discourse in which probable arguments are adduced; once so in classical Greek, viz. Plato, Theact., p. 162 e.; in a bad sense, persuasiveness of speech, specious discourse leading others into error: Col 2:4, and several times in ecclesiastical writers.
