παραιτέομαι

Strong’s: G3868

Associated OET lemmas: παραιτέομαι

Notes: It is possible that παραιτέομαι[a] differs somewhat from αἰτέω, both in intensity as well as in focusing upon the source from which the grant is to be made.; There are probably certain differences of meaning in the terms in 34.41: ἀποτρέπω / 34.41: ἀφίστημι / 34.41: ἐκκλίνω / 34.41: παραιτέομαι / 34.41: στέλλω, but without more distinctive contexts, it is difficult to determine the precise areas of meaning.

Sense 3: to refuse to accept, to reject

Semantic entry: 34.35

Semantic domains: Association

Subdomains: Belong To, Be Included in the Membership of, Be Excluded From

Definition: to refuse to accept one into a particular association

Notes: A strictly literal translation of παραιτέομαι in this context might be misunderstood, since it could suggest that younger widows were to be rejected from membership in the church. It may therefore be necessary to specify the particular relationships by translating ‘but do not accept younger widows in the list of those to receive support from the church.’

Sense 5: 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.’
