Strong's Lexicon pareimi: To be present, to be near, to come Original Word: παρείμι Word Origin: From the preposition παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "near") and the verb εἰμί (eimi, meaning "to be"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of presence in Hebrew is often captured by the word "נָכַח" (nakach, Strong's H5221), which can mean to be in front of or to be present. Usage: The Greek verb "pareimi" primarily denotes the state of being present or being near. It is used in the New Testament to describe physical presence, as well as the presence of God or spiritual realities. The term can also imply readiness or availability, emphasizing the immediacy or proximity of the subject. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, presence was often associated with authority and influence. Being physically present in a location could signify power, support, or involvement. In the context of the New Testament, the presence of Jesus or the Holy Spirit carries significant theological weight, indicating divine authority and intervention in human affairs.
