Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "near") and εἰμί (eimi, meaning "to be").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παρείμι, similar concepts of presence and nearness can be found in Hebrew words such as:

H6440 פָּנִים (panim): Often translated as "face" or "presence," used to denote being before or in the presence of someone.
H7138 קָרוֹב (qarob): Meaning "near" or "close," used to describe proximity or nearness in various contexts.

These Hebrew terms, like παρείμι, convey the idea of presence and proximity, whether in a physical, relational, or spiritual sense.

Usage: The term παρείμι is used in the New Testament to denote presence or being at a location. It often conveys the idea of being present in a supportive or accompanying role.

Context: The Greek word παρείμι (pareimi) appears in several New Testament passages, emphasizing the presence or nearness of a person or event. It is often used in contexts where the presence of an individual is significant to the narrative or teaching.

For example, in 2 Corinthians 10:2, Paul uses παρείμι to express his intention to be present with the Corinthians: "I beg you that when I come, I may not need to be as bold as I expect to be toward some who think we live according to the flesh." Here, παρείμι underscores Paul's physical presence and the authority he carries with it.

In Philippians 1:26, Paul speaks of his desire to be with the Philippians: "so that through my coming to you again, your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me." The use of παρείμι highlights the anticipated joy and encouragement his presence would bring to the believers.

The term also appears in Hebrews 12:11, where it is used metaphorically to describe the immediate experience of discipline: "No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it." Here, παρείμι conveys the present reality of discipline, contrasting it with its future benefits.

Overall, παρείμι is a versatile term that captures the essence of presence, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, and is often used to emphasize the impact or significance of that presence in the biblical narrative.
