1: παραβάτης

(Strong's #3848 — Noun Masculine — parabates — par-ab-at'-ace )

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