Strong's Lexicon parapikrainó: To provoke, to embitter, to exasperate Original Word: παραπικραίνω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "παρά" (para, meaning "beside" or "beyond") and "πικραίνω" (pikraino, meaning "to embitter" or "to provoke"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4784 (מרה, marah): To be rebellious, to provoke - H3707 (כעס, ka'as): To be angry, to provoke Usage: The verb "parapikrainó" is used to describe the act of provoking or embittering someone, often leading to anger or resentment. In the New Testament, it is typically used in contexts where there is a warning against actions that lead to provocation or bitterness, especially in relationships. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, maintaining harmonious relationships was crucial for social stability. The concept of provoking or embittering someone was seen as disruptive to the social order. In Jewish culture, the emphasis on community and family meant that actions leading to bitterness were discouraged, as they could fracture communal bonds.
