Usage: The verb "pareispheró" is used to describe the act of bringing something into a situation or context, often with the connotation of adding or contributing to what is already present. It implies an introduction or insertion of an element that may influence or enhance the existing circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of bringing or introducing something was significant in various contexts, such as in legal, social, and philosophical discussions.

In the context of the New Testament, this term can carry the weight of spiritual or moral contributions to the life of a believer or a community. HELPS Word-studies 3923 pareisphérō (from 3844 /pará, "from close-beside" and eispherō, "bring into") – properly, "bring deeply into," i.e.from very close beside). 3923 /pareisphérō ("personally carry-through") is only used in 2 Pet 1:5 referring to carrying through with real personal involvement (energy). This strongly stresses the need of the believer's deep, personal involvement in the faith-life.
