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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a comp. of <a href="/greek/3844.htm">para</a> and <a href="/greek/3551.htm">nomos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to transgress the law<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>in violation of the law (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 3891: παρανομέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παρανομέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παρανόμῳ</span> ;" to be a <span class="greek2">παράνομος</span>, to act contrary to law, to break the law": <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-3.htm">Acts 23:3</a>.
