Berean Strong's Lexicon parenochleó: To trouble, to annoy, to disturb Original Word: παρενοχλέω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "παρά" (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and "ἐνοχλέω" (enochleó, meaning "to trouble" or "to annoy"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παρενοχλέω, the concept of causing trouble or disturbance can be related to Hebrew words such as עָכַר (akar, Strong's H5916), meaning "to trouble" or "to disturb." Usage: The verb παρενοχλέω is used to describe the act of causing trouble or disturbance to someone. It implies an action that brings discomfort or distress, often through persistent or unwelcome interference. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts where individuals are cautioned against causing unnecessary trouble or burden to others, particularly in matters of faith and practice. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, social harmony and order were highly valued, and actions that disrupted communal peace were often frowned upon. The early Christian communities, emerging within this cultural milieu, emphasized mutual respect and love among believers. The use of παρενοχλέω in the New Testament reflects this cultural value, urging believers to avoid actions that would cause unnecessary strife or division within the church.
