Sedition:
se-dish'-un: The translation in Ezr 4:15,19 for eshtaddur, "struggling," "revolt"; in 2 Esdras 15:16 for inconstabilitio, "instability" with "be seditious" for stasiazo, "rise in rebellion" in 2 Macc 14:6. In addition, the King James Version has "sedition" for stasis, "standing up," "revolt" (the Revised Version (British and American) "insurrection") in Lu 23:19,25; Ac 24:5, with (dichostasia), "a standing asunder" (the Revised Version (British and American) "division") in Ga 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.
Sedition: An Uproar; Insurrection; Dissension.

Sedition:
"to excite, unsettle," or "to stir up to sedition," is so translated in Act 21:38, RV (AV, "madest an uproar"); in Act 17:6, "have turned (the world) upside down," i.e., "causing tumults;" in Gal 5:12, RV, "unsettle" (AV, "trouble"), i.e., by false teaching (here in the continuous present tense, lit., "those who are unsettling you"). The word was supposed not to have been used in profane authors. It has been found, however, in several of the papyri writings.
