HELPS Word-studies 1256 dialégomai (from 1223 /diá, "through, from one side across to the other," which intensifies 3004 /légō, "speaking to a conclusion") – properly, "getting a conclusion across" by exchanging thoughts (logic) – "mingling thought with thought, to ponder (revolve in the mind)" (J. Thayer). 1256 /dialégomai ("getting a conclusion across") occurs 13 times in the NT, usually of believers exercising "dialectical reasoning." This is the process of giving and receiving information with someone to reach deeper understanding – a "going back-and-forth" of thoughts and ideas so people can better know the Lord (His word, will). Doing this is perhaps the most telling characteristic of the growing Christian! [1256 (dialégomai) is the root of the English term, "dialogue."] Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1256: διαλέγομαιδιαλέγομαι; imperfect διελεγομην; (1 aorist 3 person singular διελέξατο (L T Tr WH in Acts 17:2; Acts 18:19)); 1 aorist διελεχθην; (middle of διαλέγω, to select, distingish); 1. to think different things with oneself, mingle thought with thought (cf. διαλογίζομαι); to ponder, revolve in mind; so in Homer. 2. as very frequent in Attic, to converse, discourse with one, argue, discuss: absolutely, Acts ( Middle voice from dia and lego; to say thoroughly, i.e. Discuss (in argument or exhortation) -- dispute, preach (unto), reason (with), speak. see GREEK dia see GREEK lego Englishman's Concordance Strong's Greek 125613 Occurrences διαλέγεται — 1 Occ. διαλεγόμενον — 1 Occ. διαλεγόμενος — 2 Occ. διαλεγομένου — 2 Occ. διελέχθησαν — 1 Occ. διελέγετο — 4 Occ. διελέξατο — 2 Occ.
