νήπιος — nḗpios
νήπιος, νήπια, νήπιον (from νή, an insep. neg. prefix (Latinnefas, nequam, nisi, etc. cf. Curtius, § 437), and ἔπος); as in Greek writers from Homer down,
a. an infant, little child: Mat 21:16 (from Psa 8:3); 1Co 13:11; the Sept. especially for עולֵל and עולָל.
b. a minor, not of age: Gal 4:1 (cf. Lightfoot at the passage).
c. metaphorically, childish, untaught, unskilled (the Sept. for פְּתִי, Psa 18:8; Psalm 118:130; Pro 1:32): Mat 11:25; Luk 10:21; Rom 2:20; Gal 4:3; Eph 4:14; opposed to τέλειοι, the more advanced in understanding and knowledge, Heb 5:13 f. (Philo de agric. § 2); νηπίοις ἐν Χριστῷ, in things pertaining to Christ, 1Co 3:1. In 1Th 2:7 L WH (cf. the latter's note at the passage) have hastily received νήπιοι for the common reading ἤπιοι.
