# obey, keep
## Definition:
The term “obey” means to do what has been commanded by a person or law. The term “obedient” describes someone who obeys. Sometimes a command prohibits doing something, as in “do not steal.” In this case, to “obey” means not to steal. In the Bible, often the term “keep” means “to obey.”
* Usually the term “obey” is used in the context of obeying the commands or laws of a person in authority. For example, people obey laws which are created by the leaders of a country, kingdom, or other organization.
* Children obey their parents, people obey God, and citizens obey the laws of their country.
* When someone in authority commands people not to do something, they obey by not doing that.
* Ways to translate obey could include a word or phrase that means “do what is commanded” or “follow orders” or “do what God says to do.”
* The term “obedient” could be translated as “doing what was commanded” or “following orders” or “doing what God commands.”
