παρακούω

Strong’s: G3878

Associated OET lemmas: παρακούω

Form 1

Part of speech: verb

Related lemmas: ἀκούω

Sense 1: to refuse to listen, to refuse to obey, disobedience

Semantic entry: 36.27

Semantic domains: Guide, Discipline, Follow

Subdomains: Obey, Disobey

Definition: to refuse to listen to and hence to disobey

Notes: It would be a mistake to translate παρακούω[a], παρακοή, and παραιτέομαι[e] as meaning nothing more than ‘not to listen to.’ The meaning is clearly ‘to refuse to listen to’ or ‘to refuse to pay attention to,’ and hence ‘to disobey.’ It may therefore be best in a number of instances to translate ‘to refuse to obey.’
