It implies a sense of urging or recommending a course of action, often with the intent of guiding someone towards a wise or beneficial decision. This term is typically used in contexts where guidance or counsel is needed, especially in situations of uncertainty or potential danger.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, giving advice was a common practice, especially among philosophers, leaders, and elders. Advice was often sought in matters of personal conduct, governance, and during times of crisis. The act of advising was considered a responsibility of those in positions of authority or wisdom, and it was expected that such advice would be heeded for the well-being of individuals and communities.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3867</b> <i>parainéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">3844</a> <i>/pará</i>, "<i>from</i> close-beside" and <a href="/greek/134.htm">134</a> <i>/ainéō</i>, "to praise") – properly, to <i>urge acknowledging what is praiseworthy</i>, i.e. "recommend, advise, urge" (<i>BAGD</i>).
