Strong's Lexicon ataktós: Disorderly, unruly, undisciplined Original Word: ἀτάκτως Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective ἄτακτος (ataktos), which means "disorderly" or "unruly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀτάκτως, the concept of disorderly conduct can be related to Hebrew terms that describe rebellion or disobedience, such as פֶּשַׁע (pesha, Strong's H6588) meaning "transgression" or "rebellion." Usage: The adverb ἀτάκτως is used to describe behavior that is disorderly or not in accordance with established order or discipline. In the New Testament, it often refers to conduct that is disruptive to the community or contrary to the teachings and practices expected of believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, order and discipline were highly valued, both in civic life and within the household. The early Christian communities, influenced by Jewish traditions and the teachings of Jesus, emphasized orderly conduct as a reflection of one's faith and commitment to the community. Disorderly behavior was seen as a threat to the unity and witness of the church.
