G4747–στοιχεῖον–stoicheion

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world:

στοιχεῖα stoicheia “basic principles”

but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?

στοιχεῖα stoicheia “principles”

Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:

στοιχεῖα stoicheia “principles”

If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances,

στοιχείων stoicheiōn “principles”

For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

στοιχεῖα stoicheia “principles”

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

στοιχεῖα stoicheia “elements”

looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

στοιχεῖα stoicheia “[the] elements”
