3891. paranomeó
Berean Strong's Lexicon
paranomeó: To act contrary to law, to transgress

Original Word: παρανομέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: paranomeó
Pronunciation: pah-rah-no-MEH-oh
Phonetic Spelling: (par-an-om-eh'-o)
Definition: To act contrary to law, to transgress
Meaning: I act contrary to law.

Word Origin: Derived from παρά (para, "beside, beyond") and νόμος (nomos, "law")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of παρανομέω can be related to several Hebrew terms for transgression or sin, such as פָּשַׁע (pasha, Strong's H6586) meaning "to rebel" or "to transgress," and עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674) meaning "to pass over" or "to transgress."

Usage: The verb παρανομέω is used to describe actions that are contrary to established law or order. It implies a deliberate or conscious act of transgression, going beyond what is legally or morally acceptable. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of violating God's commandments or established divine order.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, law (νόμος) was a fundamental aspect of society, governing both public and private life. To παρανομέω was not only a legal offense but also a moral failing, as laws were seen as reflections of divine order. In Jewish culture, the law (Torah) was central to religious life, and transgressing it was considered a serious sin against God.
