It implies a sense of patience and readiness for what is to come. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where believers are instructed to wait for God's promises or divine intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, waiting was often associated with the expectation of a significant event or the arrival of an important person. The concept of waiting in the biblical context is deeply rooted in the Jewish tradition of anticipating God's deliverance and fulfillment of His promises. This cultural understanding of waiting as an active, hopeful anticipation is reflected in the New Testament usage of "perimenó."<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4037</b> <i>periménō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">4012</a> <i>/perí</i>, "all-around" and <a href="/greek/3306.htm">3306</a> <i>/ménō</i>, "remain, abide") – properly, remain all-around, i.e. <i>steady</i> (regardless of the obstacles involved); to "<i>endure</i>, putting up with <i>surrounding</i> difficulty" (<i>LS</i>) – note the force of the intensifying prefix, <i>peri</i> (used only in Ac 1:4).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><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/3306.htm">menó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to wait for<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wait (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 4037: περιμένω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περιμένω</span></span>; (<span class="greek2">περί</span> further (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">περί</span></span>, III. 2)); <span class="accented">to wait for</span>: <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/1-4.htm">Acts 1:4</a>.
