Beside, Besides

Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words

"separately, apart from, besides," is translated "beside" in Matthew 14:21; 15:38; 2 Corinthians 11:28 . See APART , SEPARATE , WITHOUT.

is rendered "besides" in 1 Corinthians 1:16 . See FINALLY.

Notes: (1) Pareiserchomai, in Romans 5:20 , signifies "to come in beside," i.e., of the Law, as coming in addition to sin committed previously apart from law, the prefix par--- (i.e., para) denoting "beside" (the AV, "entered" is inadequate); in Galatians 2:4 ("came in privily"). See COME.

(2) In Philemon 1:19 , prosopheilo signifies "to owe in addition" (pros, "besides," and opheilo, "to owe"): "thou owest (to me even thine own self) besides."

(3) In 2 Peter 1:5 , the phrase, wrongly translated in the AV, "beside this," means "for this very cause" (RV).
