It implies a deliberate action of overstepping or transgressing established laws or commandments. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of violating God's laws or principles.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, boundaries and limits were significant in both physical and moral contexts. The concept of transgressing boundaries was often associated with hubris, or excessive pride, which was frowned upon in both Greek and Jewish cultures. In the Jewish context, the Law (Torah) was seen as a divine boundary set by God, and to transgress it was to sin against God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">huper</a> and the same as <a href="/greek/939.htm">basis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to step over, transgress<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>transgress (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 5233: ὑπερβαίνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπερβαίνω</span></span>;
