Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 3938: πάροδος

πάροδος, παροδου, (παρά, near by; ὁδός), a passing by or passage : ἐν παρόδῳ, in passing (A. V. by the way), 1 Corinthians 16:7. (Thucydides 1, 126; 5:4; Polybius 5, 68, 8; Cicero, ad Att. 5, 20, 2.; Lucian, dial. deor. 24, 2.)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the combination of παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and ὁδός (hodos, meaning "way" or "road").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "πάροδος," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that denote paths or ways, such as:
• דֶּרֶךְ (derek, Strong's Hebrew 1870): meaning "way" or "road."
• מַעֲבָר (ma'abar, Strong's Hebrew 4569): meaning "passage" or "ford."

These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of a path or way, often used metaphorically in the Old Testament to describe one's journey or conduct in life.

Usage: The word "πάροδος" is used in the New Testament to describe a passage or entrance, often in a metaphorical sense. It is not frequently used, appearing in contexts that emphasize transition or access.

Context: The Greek term "πάροδος" is a compound word that conveys the idea of a path or way that runs alongside something else, often implying a transition or movement from one place to another. In the New Testament, its usage is limited but significant, often symbolizing a passage or entrance that facilitates movement or access. This can be understood both in a literal sense, such as a physical road or path, and in a metaphorical sense, such as a transition in life or a spiritual journey.

In the context of the New Testament, "πάροδος" can be seen as a representation of the Christian journey, where believers are called to walk alongside Christ, transitioning from their old ways to a new life in Him. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of the "way" or "path" as a metaphor for one's spiritual journey and relationship with God.

The concept of "πάροδος" also resonates with the idea of access to God, as believers are granted a passage through Christ to enter into a relationship with the Father. This is reflective of the New Testament's emphasis on Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life, providing the ultimate passage to eternal life.
