In the New Testament, it is often used to describe those who break God's law, highlighting the moral and spiritual implications of such actions. The word underscores the seriousness of deviating from divine commandments and the resulting separation from God's will.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, laws were central to maintaining order and justice. The concept of a "transgressor" was not only a legal term but also carried moral and ethical weight. In Jewish culture, adherence to the Mosaic Law was paramount, and transgressors were seen as those who disrupted the covenant relationship with God. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, use "parabatés" to emphasize the universal need for redemption through Christ, as all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3848</b> <i>parabátēs</i> (from <a href="/greek/3848.htm">3848</a> <i>/parabátēs</i>, "contrary to" and <a href="/greek/939.htm">939</a> <i>/básis</i>, "go") – properly, someone who steps over (walks contrary to) God's line.
