It implies an action that brings discomfort or distress, often through persistent or unwelcome interference. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts where individuals are cautioned against causing unnecessary trouble or burden to others, particularly in matters of faith and practice.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, social harmony and order were highly valued, and actions that disrupted communal peace were often frowned upon. The early Christian communities, emerging within this cultural milieu, emphasized mutual respect and love among believers. The use of παρενοχλέω in the New Testament reflects this cultural value, urging believers to avoid actions that would cause unnecessary strife or division within the church.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3926</b> <i>pareno<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>léō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">3844</a> <i>/pará</i>, "from close beside" and 1776<i>/eno<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>leō</i>, "to disturb") – properly, to <i>disturb</i>, "hitting <i>close</i> to home."</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">para</a> and <a href="/greek/1776.htm">enochleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to annoy<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>trouble (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3926: παρενοχλέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παρενοχλέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παρενόχλω</span>; (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐνοχλέω</span></span>); <span class="accented">to cause trouble in a matter</span> (<span class="greek2">παρά</span> equivalent to <span class="greek2">παρά</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> <span class="greek2">πράγματι</span>); <span class="accented">to trouble, annoy</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/15-19.htm">Acts 15:19</a>.
