- παρεισδύνω pareisdýnō · G3921 · to slip into a group unnoticed, to join unnoticed
- Both ἐνδύνω and παρεισδύνω denote stealthy, unauthorized entry. παρεισδύνω (used in Jude 4 and 2 Tim 3:6) specifically emphasizes sneaking in alongside or slipping in secretly, making it a close semantic parallel to ἐνδύνω's sense of entering surreptitiously.
- παρεισέρχομαι pareisérchomai · G3922 · to slip into a group unnoticed, to join unnoticed
- παρεισέρχομαι denotes entering secretly or slipping in beside, sharing with ἐνδύνω the core notion of unauthorized or stealthy entry. The prefix παρα- adds the nuance of 'alongside,' but the fundamental semantic overlap in secret entry makes it a viable near synonym.
