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.’

Show passage in OET: MAT 18:17

OET-RV MAT 18:17

17 Then if that person still refuses to listen, tell the whole assembly. If they still refuse to hear from the assembly, treat them like a non-believer or a tax-collector.

OET-LV MAT 18:17

17 And if he_may_refuse_to_hear from_them, tell to_the assembly.
And if he_may_ also _refuse_to_hear from_the assembly, him_let_be to_you as the pagan and the tax_collector.
