Parangello is used for issuing directives, from instructions for conduct to commands to speak, be silent, act, or refrain.

Across the supplied verses, the verb denotes giving a directive that specifies what people are to do or not do: individuals are told to remain silent, depart or wait, work, teach or refrain from teaching, and follow stated instructions. The same use appears in personal, public, and community-directed settings rather than as distinct lexical senses.

   The present active forms introduce directives for conduct: in 1 Corinthians 7:10 the APB renders a directive that a wife not separate from her husband, while in 2 Thessalonians 3:6 it renders an instruction to withdraw from an idly walking brother. Aorist forms likewise accompany specific prohibitions or instructions: in Acts 1:4 the group is told not to depart from Jerusalem, in Acts 4:18 people are told not to speak or teach in Jesus' name, and in Luke 5:14 a man is told both to tell no one and to show himself to the priest. In Acts 16:23, the aorist participle marks the accompanying directive to the jailer to guard the prisoners securely.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the verb with “order” or “command,” and in some clauses uses “instructed” or “commanding.” Because the APB gives a translation of whole verses, these renderings confirm the directive context without fixing a separate English equivalent in every occurrence.
