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.

1. properly, a leading.

2. figuratively,

a. transitive, a conducting, training, education, discipline.

b. intransitive, the life led, way or course of life (a use which arose from the fuller expression ἀγωγή τοῦ βίου, in Polybius 4, 74, 1, 4; cf. german Lebensführung): 2Ti 3:10 (R. V. conduct) (Est 2:20; 2Ma 4:16; ἡ ἐν Χριστῷ ἀγωγή, Clement of Rome, 1Cor. 47:6 [ET]; ἁγνή ἀγωγή, ibid. 48, 1 [ET]). Often in secular authors in all these senses.
