Unlearned:

un-lur'-ned: Ac 4:13 for agrammatos, literally "illiterate." But nothing more than "lacking technical rabbinical instruction" seems to be meant (compare Joh 7:15). 1Co 14:16,23,24 for idiotes, "private person," the Revised Version margin "he that is without gifts," correctly expresses the sense ("unbeliever" is hardly in point); also the King James Version, 2Ti 2:23; 2Pe 3:16 (the Revised Version (British and American) "ignorant").

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g62 Greek: agrammatos

Unlearned:

lit., "unlettered" (grammata, "letters:" grapho, "to write"), Act 4:13, is explained by Grimm-Thayer as meaning "unversed in the learning of the Jewish schools;" in the papyri, however, it occurs very frequently in a formula used by one who signs for another who cannot write, which suggests that the rulers, elders and scribes regarded the Apostles as "unlettered" (Moulton and Milligan).

2 Strong's Number: g261 Greek: amathes

Unlearned:

"unlearned" (manthano, "to learn"), is translated "unlearned" in 2Pe 3:16, AV (RV, "ignorant").

3 Strong's Number: g521 Greek: apaideutos

Unlearned:

"uninstructed" (paideuo, "to train, teach"), is translated "unlearned" in 2Ti 2:23, AV (RV, "ignorant").

Note: For idiotes, rendered "unlearned" in 1Cr 14:16, 23, 24, see IGNORANT, No. 4.
