Strong's Lexicon paraptóma: Trespass, transgression, offense, fault Original Word: παράπτωμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb παραπίπτω (parapiptō), meaning "to fall away" or "to trespass." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "paraptóma" is פֶּשַׁע (pesha, Strong's H6588), which also means transgression or rebellion against God's law. Usage: The term "paraptóma" is used in the New Testament to denote a lapse or deviation from truth and uprightness; a misdeed or sin. It often conveys the idea of a moral or ethical failure, a stepping aside from the right path, or a breach of divine law. In the context of Christian theology, it underscores the human propensity to err and the need for divine forgiveness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "paraptóma" would have been understood in the context of legal and moral transgressions. The term reflects the Jewish understanding of sin as a deviation from God's commandments, which was deeply rooted in the Old Testament. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, use "paraptóma" to articulate the nature of sin and the necessity of redemption through Christ.
