sḗ - dish´un : The translation in Ezra 4:15 , Ezra 4:19 for אשׁתּדּוּר , 'eshtaddūr , "struggling," "revolt"; in 2 Esdras 15:16 for inconstabilitio , "instability" with "be seditious" for στασιάζω , stasiázō , "rise in rebellion" in 2 Macc 14:6. In addition, the King James Version has "sedition" for στάσις , stásis , "standing up," "revolt" (the Revised Version (British and American) "insurrection") in Luke 23:19 , Luke 23:25; Acts 24:5 , with (διχοστασις , dichostası́a ), "a standing asunder" (the Revised Version (British and American) "division") in Galatians 5:20 . As "sedition" does not include open violence against a government, the word should not have been used in any of the above cases.
