Berean Strong's Lexicon paristémi: To present, to stand by, to provide, to offer Original Word: παρίστημι Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "beside") and ἵστημι (histemi, meaning "to stand") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the concept of standing or presenting, such as יָצַב (yatsab, Strong's H3320) meaning "to stand" or נָצַב (natsab, Strong's H5324) meaning "to set, to place." Usage: The Greek verb "paristémi" primarily means to place beside or to present. It conveys the idea of standing by someone or something, offering oneself, or presenting something for a specific purpose. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of presenting oneself to God, offering one's body as a living sacrifice, or standing by in support or service. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of presenting or offering was significant in both religious and social contexts. Offerings and sacrifices were central to religious practices, and presenting oneself or one's service was a common aspect of social and civic duties. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, adapted this cultural understanding to convey spiritual truths about dedication and service to God.
