παραβαίνω; 2 aorist παρέβην; properly, to go by the side of (in Homer twice παρβεβαως of one who stands by another’s side in a war-chariot, Iliad 11,522; 13, 708 (but here of men on foot)); to go past or to pass over without touching a thing; tropically, to overstep, neglect, violate, transgress, with an accusative of the thing (often so in secular authors from Aeschylus down (cf. παρά, IV. 1 and 2)): τήν παράδοσιν, Mat 15:2; τήν ἐντολήν τοῦ Θεοῦ, Mat 15:3; ὁ παραβαίνων, he that transgresseth, oversteppeth, i. e. who does not hold to the true doctrine, opposed to μένειν ἐν τῇ διδαχή, 2Jn 1:9 R G (where L T Tr WH ὁ προάγων (which see)) (so οἱ παραβαίνοντες, transgressors of the law, Sir 40:14 (cf. Josephus, contra Apion 2, 18, 2; 29, 4; 30, 1)); (τήν διαθήκην, Jos 7:11; Jos 7:15; Eze 16:59, and often; τό ῤῆμα κυρίου, Num 14:41; 1Sa 15:24, etc.; τάς συνθήκας, Polybius 7, 5, 1; Josephus, Antiquities 4, 6, 5; Aelian v. h. 10, 2; besides, παραβ. δίκην. τόν νόμον, τούς ὅρκους, πίστιν, etc., in Greek writings). In imitation of the Hebrew ñåÌø followed by îÄï, we find παραβαίνειν ἐκ τίνος and ἀπό τίνος, so to go past as to turn aside from, i. e. to depart, leave, be turned from: ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ, Exo 32:8; Deu 9:12; ἀπό τῶν ἐντολῶν, Deu 17:20; ἀποπο τῶν λόγων, Deu 28:14, the Alex. manuscript; once so in the N. T.: ἐκ (L T Tr WH ἀπό) τῆς ἀποστολῆς, of one who abandons his trust (R. V. fell away], Act 1:25. (In the Sept. also for ςΘαΗψ, äÅôÄéø, to break, ùÈÑèÈä, to deviate, turn aside.) (Synonym: παραβαίνειν to overstep, παραπορεύεσθαι to proceed by the side of, παρέρχεσθαι to go past.)
