Strong's Lexicon perileipomai: To remain, to be left behind Original Word: περιλείπομαι Word Origin: From the Greek words "peri" (meaning "around" or "about") and "leipō" (meaning "to leave" or "to forsake"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "perileipomai," the concept of remaining or being left can be found in Hebrew words like שָׁאַר (sha'ar, Strong's H7604), which means "to remain" or "to be left." Usage: The verb "perileipomai" is used in the New Testament to describe those who are left or remain after others have departed. It carries the connotation of being left behind in a physical or metaphorical sense, often in the context of eschatological events. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being left behind could carry both positive and negative connotations. In a military context, those left behind might be seen as survivors or those who endure. In a social or familial context, it could imply abandonment or loss. In the New Testament, the term is used in an eschatological sense, reflecting the early Christian expectation of Christ's return and the hope of believers to be among those who remain faithful until that time.
