παρὼν
páreimi
present
To be present, to be near or in proximity. The core meaning is to be alongside, to be physically present or available, and by extension, to arrive or appear (especially in situations where presence or availability is in focus). In some contexts, it can also mean 'to come' or 'to be at hand.' In participial usage, it can refer to 'the present time' (i.e., what is occurring now) or, rarely, to 'available resources' or 'property.'

SIBI-P1 Translation G3918-09
being present
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS); denotes ongoing state of being present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle denotes ongoing action, so "being present" reflects continuous nearness or availability. It preserves the root idea of being alongside (παρά + εἰμί) while matching the nominative masculine singular participial form. |
