The Definition of the word Tradition

Tradition

Any kind of teaching, written or spoken, handed down from "generation to generation. In Mark 7:3, 9, 13, Col. 2:8, this" word refers to the arbitrary interpretations of the Jews. In 2 "Thess. 2:15; 3:6, it is used in a good sense. Peter (1 Pet." 1:18) uses this word with reference to the degenerate Judaism of "the "strangers scattered" whom he addresses (comp. Acts 15:10;" Matt. 15:2-6; Gal. 1:14).
