Thayer's Greek Lexicon
παρεπίδημος, παρεπιδημον (see ἐπιδημέω), properly, "one who comes from a foreign country into a city or land to reside there by the side of the natives; hence, stranger; sojourning in a strange place, a foreigner" (Polybius 32, 22, 4; Athen. 5, p. 196 a.); in the N. T. metaphorically, in reference to heaven as the native country, one who sojourns on earth: so of Christians, 1Pe 1:1; joined with πάροικοι, 1Pe 2:11; cf. 1Pe 1:17, (Christians πατριδας οἰκοῦσιν ἰδίας, ἀλλ’ ὡς πάροικοι. μετεχουσι πάντων ὡς πολῖται, καί πανθ’ ὑπομένουσιν ὡς ξένοι. πᾶσα ξένῃ πατρίς ἐστιν αὐτῶν καί πᾶσα πατρίς ξένῃ, Ep. ad Diogn. c. 5 [ET]); of the patriarchs, ξένοι καί παρεπίδημοί ἐπί τῆς γῆς, Heb 11:13 (Gen 23:4; Psa 38:13 (); παρεπιδημια τίς ἐστιν ὁ βίος, Aeschines dial. Socrates 3, 3, where see Fischer).
