In the New Testament, it is used to refer to individuals who are not living according to the teachings and order of the Christian community. The word implies a lack of discipline and a deviation from expected conduct.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, order and discipline were highly valued, both in society and within various institutions, including the military and household. The early Christian communities also emphasized order, as they sought to live out their faith in a way that was distinct from the surrounding culture. The term "ἄτακτος" would have been understood as a serious charge, indicating behavior that was disruptive to the community's harmony and witness.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>813</b> <i>átaktos</i> (an adjective derived from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "not" and <a href="/greek/5021.htm">5021</a> <i>/tássō</i>, "draw up, arrange") – properly, out-of-line ("without order," M.
