Ignorant Ignorance Ignorantly [1]

'''A — 1: ἄγνοια (Strong'S #52 — Noun Feminine — agnoia — ag'-noy-ah )

"want of knowledge or perception" (akin to agnoeo, "to be ignorant"), denotes "ignorance" on the part of the Jews regarding Christ,  Acts 3:17; of Gentiles in regard to God, 17:30;  Ephesians 4:18 (here including the idea of willful blindness: see   Romans 1:28 , not the "ignorance" which mitigates guilt);  1 Peter 1:14 , of the former unregenerate condition of those who became believers (Rv, "in the time of your ignorance").

'''A — 2: ἀγνωσία (Strong'S #56 — Noun Feminine — agnosia — ag-no-see'-ah )

denotes "ignorance" as directly opposed to gnosis, which signifies "knowledge" as a result of observation and experience (a, negative, ginosko, "to know;" cp. Eng., "agnostic");  1 Corinthians 15:34 ("no knowledge");   1 Peter 2:15 . In both these passages reprehensible "ignorance" is suggested. See Knowledge.

'''A — 3: ἀγνόημα (Strong'S #51 — Noun Neuter — agnoema — ag-no'-ay-mah )

"a sin of ignorance," occurs in  Hebrews 9:7 , "errors" (Rv marg., "ignorances"). For the corresponding verb in  Hebrews 5:2 see B, No. 1. What is especially in view in these passages in unwitting error. For Israel a sacrifice was appointed, greater in proportion to the culpabililty of the guilty, greater, for instance, for a priest or ruler than for a private person. Sins of "ignorance," being sins, must be expiated. A believer guilty of a sin of "ignorance" needs the efficacy of the expiatory sacrifice of Christ, and finds "grace to help." Yet, as the conscience of the believer receives enlightenment, what formerly may have been done in "ignorance" becomes a sin against the light and demands a special confession, to receive forgiveness,   1 John 1:8,9 .

'''A — 4: ἰδιώτης (Strong'S #2399 — Noun Masculine — idiotes — id-ee-o'-tace )

primarily "a private person" in contrast to a state official, hence, "a person without professional knowledge, unskilled, uneducated, unlearned," is translated "unlearned" in  1 Corinthians 14:16,23,24 , of those who have no knowledge of the facts relating to the testimony borne in and by a local church; "rude" in  2 Corinthians 11:6 , of the Apostle's mode of speech in the estimation of the Corinthians; "ignorant men," in  Acts 4:13 , of the speech of the Apostle Peter and John in the estimation of the rulers, elders and scribes in Jerusalem.
