Strong's Lexicon paranomia: Lawlessness, transgression, violation of law Original Word: παρανομία Word Origin: Derived from παρά (para, "beside" or "beyond") and νόμος (nomos, "law") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of lawlessness is עָוֹן (avon, Strong's H5771), which denotes iniquity or guilt, emphasizing the moral culpability of transgressing God's law. Usage: The term "paranomia" refers to the act of deviating from or violating established laws or norms. In a biblical context, it often denotes a moral or ethical breach, highlighting actions that go against God's commandments or divine order. It underscores a willful disregard for God's law, emphasizing the seriousness of such transgressions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, law and order were highly valued, and the concept of "nomos" (law) was central to societal structure. "Paranomia" would have been understood as a serious offense, not just against human laws but also against the divine order. In Jewish thought, adherence to the Torah was paramount, and "paranomia" would signify a grave departure from the covenantal relationship with God.
