B-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g3847 | Greek: parabasis |
Transgress, Transgression:
akin to A, No. 1, primarily "a going aside," then, "an overstepping," is used metaphorically to denote "transgression" (always of a breach of law):
(a) of Adam, Rom 5:14;
(b) of Eve, 1Ti 2:14;
(c) negatively, where there is no law, since "transgression" implies the violation of law, none having been enacted between Adam's "transgression" and those under the Law, Rom 4:15;
(d) of "transgressions" of the Law, Gal 3:19, where the statement "it was added because of transgressions" is best understood according to Rom 4:15; 5:13; 5:20; the Law does not make men sinners, but makes them "transgressors;" hence sin becomes "exceeding sinful," Rom 7:7, 13. Conscience thus had a standard external to itself; by the Law men are taught their inability to yield complete obedience to God, that thereby they may become convinced of their need of a Savior; in Rom 2:23, RV, "transgression (of the Law)," AV, "breaking (the Law);" Hbr 2:2; 9:15.
B-2 | Noun | Strong's Number: g3892 | Greek: paranomia |
Transgress, Transgression:
"lawbreaking" (para, "contrary to, nomos, "law"), is rendered "transgression" in 2Pe 2:16, RV (AV, "iniquity").
Note: In 1Jo 3:4 (1st part), AV, poieo, "to do," with anomia, "lawlessness," is rendered "transgresseth... the law" (RV, "doeth... lawlessness"); in the 2nd part anomia alone is rendered "transgression of the law," AV (RV, "lawlessness").
