36.28 · Guide, Discipline, Follow · Obey, Disobey

to disobey, to break the law, to transgress, disobedience, transgression to act contrary to established custom or law, with the implication of intent Languages differ appreciably in the way in which they speak of disobeying or transgressing a law. It is rarely possible to speak of ‘breaking a law,’ since nothing is actually done to the law in the process of transgression, but languages do employ such expressions as ‘to tramp on a law,’ ‘to ridicule a law,’ and ‘to laugh at a law.’ See also discussion at 36.29.

67.85 · Time · Duration of Time without Reference to Points or Units of Time: Time, Spend Time, Always, Eternal, Old, Immediately, Young

to pass, to have passed, past to mark the passage of time, with focus upon completion In MAT 24:34 it may be important to distinguish carefully between γενεά[a] meaning ‘people’ (11.4) and γενεά[d] meaning ‘time’ (67.144), since this will undoubtedly influence the way in which the temporal reference of παρέρχομαι[e] is represented. If one understands generation in the sense of ‘people,’ then one may translate ‘these people living now will not die until all these things happen.’

MAT 14:15 · MAT 24:34 · MRK 13:30 · LUK 21:32 · ACT 27:9 · 1PE 4:3

1 It is possible that there are slight distinctions in meaning between παρέρχομαι[a], παραπορεύομαι, and παράγω[b] in view of certain distinctions of meaning in ἔρχομαι, πορεύομαι, and ἄγω (especially in the sense of ὑπάγω). παρέρχομαι[a] may therefore be judged to be more generic in meaning, while παραπορεύομαι may refer specifically to walking along, and παράγω[b] may involve primarily the act of passing beyond a particular point.
