παρουσίας
parousía
coming
State or condition of being present; the act of coming or arrival at a place. In various contexts, 'παρουσία' primarily denotes the physical presence of a person, especially one of high status, or the arrival/coming of someone into a situation. In Hellenistic and New Testament Greek, it can bear the specialized sense of an official or momentous arrival, often of a dignitary. In later Christian usage, it comes to refer specifically to a future, expected 'coming' or 'arrival,' particularly that of Jesus, with an overtone of significance or judgment.

SIBI-P1 Translation G3952-03
of the arrival
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS); indicates possession, source, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular feminine form denotes possession or association, so "of the arrival" preserves the noun’s core sense of being present or arriving. "Arrival" reflects the root idea of being present beside or coming into presence without importing later theological specificity. |
