It can indicate "about" or "concerning" when referring to a subject matter, or "around" when describing spatial relationships. It is often used to introduce the topic of discourse or to specify the object of concern.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek literature and the New Testament, prepositions like "περί" were crucial for clarifying relationships between words and ideas. The use of "περί" in the New Testament reflects the Hellenistic Greek style, where precision in theological and philosophical discussions was essential. This preposition helped early Christians articulate their beliefs and teachings clearly, especially in letters and doctrinal expositions.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4007</b> <i>per</i> (an emphatic particle derived from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">4012</a> <i>/perí</i>, "concerning, all about") – <i>fully concerning</i>; <i>wholly</i>, <i>very</i>, <i>really</i> – literally "all-around" the <i>whole peri</i>meter; (figuratively) <i>to the limit</i>, <i>beyond</i> what is expected (usual).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4007: περ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περ</span></span>, an enclitic particle, akin to the preposition <span class="greek2">περί</span> (Herm. de part. <span class="greek2">ἄν</span>, p. 6; <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, § 359; cf.
