Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "near") and ἵστημι (histēmi, meaning "to stand" or "to set").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παρίστημι, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words such as עָמַד (amad, Strong's 5975), meaning "to stand," and נָצַב (natsab, Strong's 5324), meaning "to set" or "to place." These terms convey similar ideas of standing, presenting, or positioning oneself or something else.

Usage: The term παρίστημι is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often conveying the idea of presenting or offering something or someone. It can refer to physical presence, as well as metaphorical or spiritual presentation.

Context: • Physical Presence: In some instances, παρίστημι is used to describe someone standing by or being present. For example, in Acts 1:10, it describes the angels who "stood beside" the disciples as they watched Jesus ascend into heaven.
• Offering or Presentation: The term is frequently used in the context of offering or presenting something to God. Romans 12:1 uses παρίστημι to exhort believers to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God."
• Spiritual Readiness: In Romans 6:13, believers are instructed not to "offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God." Here, παρίστημι conveys the idea of dedicating oneself to God’s service.
• Legal or Formal Presentation: In some contexts, παρίστημι is used in a legal or formal sense, such as presenting evidence or standing before a judge. This can be seen in Acts 24:13, where Paul states that his accusers "cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me."
• Support or Assistance: The term can also imply standing by someone to support or assist them, as seen in 2 Timothy 4:17, where Paul notes that "the Lord stood by me and strengthened me."
