παροῦσιν
páreimi
things 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.'

to the things being present
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, dative neuter plural; substantival use indicating ongoing states or realities that are present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle expresses ongoing presence or nearness, and in the neuter plural dative it functions substantivally, referring to realities that are presently at hand. The dative case is reflected by "to," preserving the form’s grammatical force. |
