Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the combination of παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and εἰσάγω (eiságō, meaning "to bring in" or "to introduce").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παρεισάγω, the concept of introducing something secretly or deceitfully can be related to Hebrew terms that convey similar ideas of deception or stealth, such as נָכַל (nakal, meaning "to deceive" or "to trick") and סָתַר (satar, meaning "to hide" or "to conceal"). These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of deceit and the need for spiritual vigilance.

Usage: The term παρεισάγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of introducing something or someone in a covert or stealthy manner. It often carries a negative connotation, implying deceit or subterfuge.

Context: The Greek verb παρεισάγω appears in the New Testament in contexts that suggest the introduction of false teachings or deceptive practices into the Christian community. This term is used to describe the subtle and often hidden manner in which false doctrines or heretical ideas are brought into the church, leading believers astray from the truth of the Gospel.

In 2 Peter 2:1, the apostle Peter warns of false prophets and teachers who will "secretly introduce destructive heresies" (BSB). Here, παρεισάγω underscores the clandestine nature of their actions, as these individuals infiltrate the church with teachings that are contrary to the apostolic doctrine. The use of this term highlights the danger posed by such individuals, as their teachings can lead to spiritual ruin if not discerned and rejected by the faithful.

The concept of παρεισάγω serves as a caution to the early church and to believers today, emphasizing the need for vigilance and discernment in matters of doctrine. It reminds the Christian community to be on guard against those who would seek to undermine the truth of the Gospel through subtle and deceptive means.
