Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb παραπίπτω (parapiptō), meaning "to fall beside" or "to fall away."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Hebrew equivalent often associated with παράπτωμα is עָוֹן (avon, Strong's Hebrew 5771), which similarly denotes iniquity, guilt, or sin. Another related term is פֶּשַׁע (pesha, Strong's Hebrew 6588), meaning transgression or rebellion against God's law. These terms reflect the Old Testament understanding of sin as a breach of covenantal relationship with God.

Usage: The word παράπτωμα is used in the New Testament to describe acts of wrongdoing or sin, often emphasizing the aspect of falling away from a standard or moral law. It is frequently translated as "trespass" or "transgression" in English Bible versions.

Context: • Theological Significance: In the New Testament, παράπτωμα is often used to describe human sinfulness and the need for divine forgiveness. It highlights the concept of moral failure and the human tendency to deviate from God's commandments. The term underscores the gravity of sin as a breach of divine law and the resulting separation from God.

• Biblical Context:
• In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches about forgiveness of "trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15), emphasizing the reciprocal nature of forgiveness among humans and between humans and God.
• Paul uses παράπτωμα in his epistles to discuss the redemptive work of Christ, who provides forgiveness for our transgressions (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 2:13). This highlights the grace available through Christ's sacrifice, which covers human failings.
• In Romans 5:15-20, Paul contrasts the trespass of Adam with the redemptive act of Christ, illustrating the abundance of grace that overcomes human transgression.

• Moral and Ethical Implications: The use of παράπτωμα in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the moral and ethical standards expected of believers. It calls for self-examination, repentance, and a commitment to live according to God's will. The concept of trespass also underscores the importance of seeking and granting forgiveness as a reflection of God's mercy.
