Strong's Lexicon ataktos: Disorderly, unruly, undisciplined Original Word: ἄτακτος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "α-" (a-, meaning "not") and "τάσσω" (tassō, meaning "to arrange" or "to order"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ἄτακτος," the concept of disorderliness can be related to Hebrew terms like "פָּרַע" (para, meaning "to be unrestrained" or "to let go") as seen in Proverbs 29:18. Usage: The term "ἄτακτος" is used to describe someone who is disorderly or unruly, often in the context of not adhering to established rules or norms. In the New Testament, it is used to refer to individuals who are not living according to the teachings and order of the Christian community. The word implies a lack of discipline and a deviation from expected conduct. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, order and discipline were highly valued, both in society and within various institutions, including the military and household. The early Christian communities also emphasized order, as they sought to live out their faith in a way that was distinct from the surrounding culture. The term "ἄτακτος" would have been understood as a serious charge, indicating behavior that was disruptive to the community's harmony and witness. HELPS Word-studies 813 átaktos (an adjective derived from 1 /A "not" and 5021 /tássō, "draw up, arrange") – properly, out-of-line ("without order," M. Vincent); (figuratively) out of God's appointed (proper) order; unruly, refusing to observe God's guidelines (live in faith). Accordingly, faith (4102 /pístis) and 813 (átaktos) are directly associated (see 1 Tim 5:12-14).
