It can refer to something that is laid out in front of a person, such as a goal or a task, or to something that is appointed or destined to occur. The term often carries a sense of purpose or intention, indicating that what is set before is meant to be pursued or achieved.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of something being "set before" an individual often implied a goal or a challenge that was to be undertaken. This could be in the context of athletic competitions, where a prize was set before the competitors, or in philosophical and moral teachings, where a virtuous life was the goal set before individuals. The New Testament usage of "prokeimai" reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the intentionality and purpose behind what is set before believers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a> and <a href="/greek/2749.htm">keimai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be set before, to be set forth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>exhibited (1), present (1), set before (3).<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 4295: πρόκειμαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πρόκειμαι</span></span>; (<span class="greek2">πρό</span> (which see d. <span class="greek2">α</span>.) and <span class="greek2">κεῖμαι</span>): from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> properly, <span class="accented">to lie or be placed before</span> (a person or thing), or <span class="accented">in front</span> (often so in Greek writings). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to be set before,</span> i. e., a. <span class="accented">to be placed before the eyes, to lie in sight; to stand forth</span>: with a predicate nominative, <span class="greek2">δεῖγμα</span>, as an example, <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-7.htm">Jude 1:7</a> (<span class="greek2">καλόν</span> <span class="greek2">ὑπόδειγμα</span> <span class="greek2">σοι</span> <span class="greek2">πρόκειται</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">b. j.</span> 6, 2, 1). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> equivalent to <span class="accented">to be appointed, destined</span>: <span class="greek2">προκειμενη</span> <span class="greek2">ἐλπίς</span>t';, the hope open to us, offered, given, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-18.htm">Hebrews 6:18</a>; used of those things which by any appointment are destined to be done, borne, or attained by anyone; so <span class="greek2">προκειμενος</span> <span class="greek2">ἀγών</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-1.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a>; <span class="greek2">προκειμενος</span> <span class="greek2">χαρά</span>, the destined joy (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀντί</span></span>, 2 b.), ibid. 2 (the phrase <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἆθλα</span> <span class="greek2">προκεῖσθαι</span> occurs often in secular writings from <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; cf.
