813 átaktos (an adjective derived from 1 /A "not" and 5021 /tássō, "draw up, arrange") – properly, out-of-line ("without order," M. Vincent); (figuratively) out of God's appointed (proper) order; unruly, refusing to observe God's guidelines (live in faith). Accordingly, faith (4102 /pístis) and 813 (átaktos) are directly associated (see 1 Tim 5:12-14).

STRONGS NT 813: ἄτακτος

(In Greek writings from (Herodotus and) Thucydides down; often in Plato.)
