Strong's Lexicon parabatés: Transgressor, lawbreaker Original Word: παραβάτης Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb παραβαίνω (parabainō), meaning "to go aside" or "to transgress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a transgressor is פֹּשֵׁעַ (pesha, Strong's H6586), which means "rebel" or "transgressor." Usage: The term "parabatés" refers to someone who violates or transgresses a law or commandment. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe those who break God's law, highlighting the moral and spiritual implications of such actions. The word underscores the seriousness of deviating from divine commandments and the resulting separation from God's will. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, laws were central to maintaining order and justice. The concept of a "transgressor" was not only a legal term but also carried moral and ethical weight. In Jewish culture, adherence to the Mosaic Law was paramount, and transgressors were seen as those who disrupted the covenant relationship with God. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, use "parabatés" to emphasize the universal need for redemption through Christ, as all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.
