It conveys a sense of stepping out of line or not adhering to expected conduct, particularly within a community or group setting. The term is often associated with a lack of discipline or responsibility.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, societal order and discipline were highly valued, both in civic life and within the household. The early Christian communities, influenced by Jewish ethical teachings and the Greco-Roman emphasis on order, expected members to live disciplined lives that reflected their faith. Idleness and disorderly conduct were seen as threats to the cohesion and witness of the community. The Apostle Paul, in particular, addressed these issues in his letters, urging believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 812</b> <i>ataktéō</i> – properly, to be out of proper order (arrangement), i.e. <i>breaking rank</i> (disregarding commands, authority). <a href="/greek/813.htm">See 813</a> (<i>ataktos</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/813.htm">ataktos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be out of order, be remiss<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>act in an undisciplined manner (1), undisciplined manner (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 812: ἀτακτέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀτακτέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀτάκω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἠτάκτησα</span>;
