in/with the teaching-instruction (dative feminine singular)
| Root | διδαχή (didachē) |
| Core Meanings | teaching, instruction, doctrine, that-which-is-taught |
| Semantic Range | instruction, authoritative teaching, doctrinal content, transmitted tradition, the act of teaching, the body of what is taught |
| Conceptual Significance | In the New Testament, διδαχή denotes both the authoritative instruction of Yeshua and the apostles and the recognized body of covenantal teaching shaping community life. It reflects continuity with Jewish patterns of transmitted instruction while marking the distinct apostolic proclamation and formation of disciples. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,) in most occurrences, with nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,) also attested. The dative typically expresses sphere, means, association, or reference ("in," "with," "by," "regarding the teaching"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense from διδάσκω (to teach), conveying both the act and content of instruction. Because the attested form is dative feminine singular (διδαχῇ), the English reflects dative force ("in/with") and singular feminine noun sense, maintaining its grammatical function in context. |
