Correct, Correction, Corrector, Correcting

'''A — 1: διόρθωσις (Strong'S #1357 — Noun Feminine — diorthoma — dee-or'-tho-sis )

signifies "a reform, amendment, correction," lit., "a making straight" (dia, "through," orthoo, "to make straight"). In  Acts 24:2 , lit., "reformations come about (or take place, lit., 'become')," the Rv has "evils are corrected," Av, "worthy deeds are done;" there is no word for "worthy" or for "deeds" in the original. Some texts have katorthoma, which has the same meaning. See diorthosis, "reformation,"  Hebrews 9:10 .

'''A — 2: ἐπανόρθωσις (Strong'S #1882 — Noun Feminine — epanorthosis — ep-an-or'-tho-sis )

lit., "a restoration to an upright or right state" (epi, "to," ana, "up, or again," and orthoo, see No. 1), hence, "correction," is used of the Scripture in  2 Timothy 3:16 , referring to improvement of life and character.

'''A — 3: παιδευτής (Strong'S #3810 — Noun Masculine — paideutes — pahee-dyoo-tace' )

has two meanings, corresponding to the two meanings of the verb paideuo (see below) from which it is derived, (a) "a teacher, preceptor, corrector,"  Romans 2:20 (Av, "instructor"), (b) "a chastiser,"   Hebrews 12:9 , rendered "to chasten" (Av, "which corrected;" lit., "chastisers"). See Instructor.

'''B — 1: ἀνάπτω (Strong'S #381 — Verb — paideuo — an-ap'-to )

"to train up a child" (pais), is rendered "correcting" in  2 Timothy 2:25 , Rv, Av, "instructing." See Chasten.
