Dictionaries :: Transgressor

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Transgressor:

lit. and primarily, "one who stands beside," then, "one who oversteps the prescribed limit, a transgressor" (akin to parabaino, "to transgress," see above); so Rom 2:25, RV (AV, "a breaker"); 2:27, RV, "a transgressor" (AV, "dost transgress"); Gal 2:18; Jam 2:9, 11.

Note: Hamartolos, "a sinner, one who misses the mark," is applicable to all men without distinction; parabates stresses the positive side of sin, and is applicable to those who received the Law.

Transgressor:

"without law" (a, negative), is translated "transgressors" in Luk 22:37 (in some texts, Mar 15:28), in a quotation from Isa 53:12.
