orthopraxy 的詞源

"正確的實踐、行動或程序"，1840年，來自 ortho- + 希臘語 praxis "做、行動、表演"（參見 praxis）。

Errata — Page 263, line 9 from bottom, for 'orthodoxy' read orthopraxy. This is a new coin from the mint of Dr. [Andrew] Wylie [of Bloomington College, Indiana], at least I have not before noticed it. Its etymology places it in a just contrast with orthodoxy: for if that consecrated word indicates thinking right, orthopraxy will legitimately import doing right, and hence, as Mr. Wylie says, orthopraxy in the last dread day will pass the divine ordeal incomparably better than orthodoxy. O! that a zeal for orthopraxy would transcend the zeal for orthodoxy! ["The Millennial Harbinger," vol. iv, no. 8, Bethany, Virginia, August 1840]

Errata — 第263頁，倒數第9行，將 'orthodoxy' 更正爲 orthopraxy。這是 Dr. [Andrew] Wylie（印第安納州布盧明頓學院的教授）的新詞，至少我以前沒有注意到過。它的詞源使它與正統派形成了正當的對比：如果那個神聖的詞彙表示正確的思想，那麼正當實踐將合法地導入正確的行動，因此，正如 Wylie 先生所說，最後一天的正當實踐將比正統派更好地通過神的審判。哦！願對正當實踐的熱情超越對正統派的熱情！["千禧年的港灣"，第四卷，第8期，弗吉尼亞州貝瑟尼，1840年8月]
