It often carries the connotation of stirring up a desire for something that another possesses, whether it be spiritual blessings, favor, or status. This term is used in contexts where one group or individual is made to desire what another has, often with the intention of prompting a positive change or realization.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, jealousy was a common human emotion, often associated with rivalry and competition. The concept of provoking jealousy was understood as a means to motivate individuals or groups to aspire to greater achievements or to return to a desired path. In the Jewish context, the idea of provoking jealousy is seen in the relationship between Israel and the Gentiles, where the blessings given to the Gentiles were intended to stir Israel to return to God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3863</b> <i>parazēlóō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">3844</a> <i>/pará</i>, "<i>from</i> close beside" and <a href="/greek/2206.htm">2206</a> <i>/zēlóō</i>, "<i>boil over</i> with desire") – properly, to apply heavy ("hot") pressure to provoke change, especially in an "up-close-and-personal" way (note the force of <i>para</i>).</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/2206.htm">zéloó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to provoke to jealousy<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>make...jealous (2), move to jealousy (1), provoke...to jealousy (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 3863: παραζηλόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παραζηλόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παραζήλω</span>;
