Winers Grammar, 102 (96)), see διαπαρατριβή. Not found elsewhere; (cf. παραδιατυπόω in Justinian (in Koumanoudes, Λεξεις ἀθησαυρος, under the word)). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "παρά" (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and the verb "διατρίβω" (diatribō, meaning "to spend time" or "to engage in discussion").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "παραδιατριβή," the concept of disputes and contentious discussions can be related to Hebrew terms such as "רִיב" (riyb, Strong's Hebrew 7379), which means "strife" or "contention," and "מַדּוֹן" (madon, Strong's Hebrew 4066), meaning "quarrel" or "dispute." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe conflicts and disagreements among individuals or groups. Usage: The word "παραδιατριβή" is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) text. However, it is related to the concept of disputes or arguments that arise in discussions, particularly those that may occur within a community or between individuals holding differing views. Context: The concept of "παραδιατριβή" is reflective of the human tendency to engage in disputes and arguments, often over doctrinal or theological matters. In the New Testament, the early Christian communities faced various challenges, including disagreements over interpretations of the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. While the specific term "παραδιατριβή" does not appear in the BSB, the idea is present in passages that address disputes and the need for unity and understanding among believers.
