Usage: The term "parakatathéké" refers to something that is entrusted to someone for safekeeping. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the gospel or sound teaching that is entrusted to believers, particularly to church leaders, to guard and preserve. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, a "parakatathéké" was a legal term used to describe a deposit or trust given to someone for safekeeping.

In a spiritual context, this concept was applied to the teachings and doctrines of the Christian faith, which were to be safeguarded and faithfully transmitted to future generations.
