Mops.: ‘ ut modis omnibus increpatione, obsecratione, doctrina reducatis eum ad id qued honestum est’ ): cf. Didache 15:3 ἐλέγχετεδὲἀλλήλουςμὴἐνὀργῇἀλλʼ ἐνεἰρήνῃ, and Clem. R. Cor. 14:3 χρηστευσώμεθααὐτοῖς [τοῖςἀρχηγοῖςτῆςστάσεως] κατὰτὴνεὐσπλαγχνίανκαὶγλυκύτητατοῦποιήσαντοςἡμᾶς. For the softening effect of ὡς ‘ as if he were an enemy’ cf. Blass p. 246 n.1, and for ἡγέομαι and νουθετέω see the notes on 1 Thessalonians 5:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:12, respectively. As further illustrating the ‘ stronger’ sense of ἡγέομαι in the former passage see M. Anton. 4:1 where the best texts read ὁρμᾷμὲνπρὸςτὰἡγούμενα in the sense of προηγούμενα in the parallel passage 5:20 (see Crossley’ s note ad loc.).
