Strong's Lexicon paraggelló: To command, to charge, to instruct Original Word: παραγγέλλω Word Origin: From παρά (para, "beside") and ἀγγέλλω (angelló, "to announce") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "paraggelló," the concept of commanding or instructing can be seen in Hebrew words like צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), which means "to command." Usage: The Greek verb "paraggelló" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of giving orders or instructions, often with a sense of authority. It implies a directive that is meant to be followed, reflecting a hierarchical relationship between the one giving the command and the one receiving it. This term is frequently used in contexts where Jesus or the apostles are instructing others on matters of faith and practice. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of giving commands was integral to various aspects of life, including military, political, and domestic spheres. Commands were expected to be obeyed, reflecting the social structures and authority figures of the time. In the New Testament, the use of "paraggelló" often underscores the authority of Jesus and the apostles as they establish the teachings and practices of the early Christian community. HELPS Word-studies 3853 paraggéllō (from 3844 /pará, "from close-beside" and aggéllō, "inform") – properly, to charge, give a command that is fully authorized because it has gone through all the proper (necessary) channels. God commands (3853 /paraggéllō) believers to act as He authorizes them through the revelation of faith (His inworked persuasions). Accordingly, 3853 (paraggéllō) and faith (4102 /pístis) are closely connected in the NT – see 1 Tim 1:2-4,4:11,12, 5:7,8. [3853 (paraggéllō) "originally meant to pass on or transmit; hence, used as a military term, of passing a watchword or command; and so generally to command" (WS, 222).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom para and aggelló Definition to transmit a message, to order NASB Translation charge (1), command (4), commanded (4), commanding (1), direct (1), directed (2), gave (1), give...order (1), give instructions (1), giving...instruction (1), instruct (2), instructed (3), instructing (3), ordered (3), Prescribe (2).
