Strong's Lexicon parorgismos: Anger, provocation, wrath Original Word: παροργισμός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb παροργίζω (parorgizō), meaning "to provoke to anger" or "to exasperate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with anger or wrath is אַף (aph, Strong's H639), which also conveys the idea of anger or nostrils flaring in anger. Usage: The term "parorgismos" refers to a state of provoked anger or wrath. It is used in the New Testament to describe a kind of anger that arises from provocation, often implying a response to an external stimulus that incites a strong emotional reaction. This type of anger is typically seen as negative, as it can lead to sin if not controlled. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, emotions such as anger were often discussed in philosophical and ethical contexts. Anger was generally viewed as a natural human emotion but one that needed to be controlled and moderated. The New Testament reflects this understanding, emphasizing the importance of managing anger to maintain righteous living. In Jewish culture, anger was also seen as a potential stumbling block to holiness, with wisdom literature often advising restraint and patience.
