Strong's Lexicon parerchomai: To pass by, to pass away, to come to an end, to neglect, to disregard. Original Word: παρέρχομαι Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and ἔρχομαι (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), which also means to pass over, pass through, or pass by. Usage: The Greek verb "parerchomai" primarily conveys the idea of passing by or passing away. It can refer to physical movement, such as passing by a location, or metaphorically to the passing away of time, events, or conditions. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the transient nature of the world and its elements, emphasizing the eternal nature of God's word and kingdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of things passing away was a common philosophical theme, reflecting on the impermanence of life and the material world. This idea is echoed in biblical teachings, where the temporary nature of earthly things is contrasted with the eternal nature of spiritual truths. The use of "parerchomai" in the New Testament often serves to remind believers of the fleeting nature of worldly concerns and the enduring significance of spiritual realities.
