It conveys the idea of being a neighbor or residing in close proximity to others. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to those who are geographically close or those who share a community or social connection.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek society, the concept of "perioikos" was significant in understanding social and community relationships. The term was often used to describe those who lived in the surrounding areas of a city-state, particularly in Sparta, where the "Perioikoi" were free inhabitants who were not full citizens but lived in the surrounding territories. In the New Testament context, the idea of neighboring communities was important for the early Christian church, which emphasized love and support among believers and their neighbors.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">peri</a> and <a href="/greek/3624.htm">oikos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>dwelling around, a neighbor<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>neighbors (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4040: περίοικος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περίοικος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">περιοίκου</span> (<span class="greek2">περί</span> and <span class="greek2">οἶκος</span>), <span class="accented">dwelling around, a neighbor</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-58.htm">Luke 1:58</a>.
