I. 3), John 4:38. ἐισερχέσθεσθαι εἰς τόν κόσμον, to enter the world (cf. Winer's Grammar, 18), is α. equivalent to to arise, come into existence, begin to be (i. e., among men): used thus of sin and death, Romans 5:12; of death, Wis. 2:24; Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 3, 4 [ET]; of idols, Wis. 14:14. β. of men, to come into life: whether by birth, Antoninus 6, 56; or by divine creation, Philo, opif. mund. § 25. γ. to come before the public: 2 John 1:7 (Rec.); to come to men, of Christ, John 18:37; εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τόν κόσμον, when he cometh into the world, i. e. when he was on the point of entering it, viz. at his incarnation, Hebrews 10:5.

Compare: ἐπέρχομαι, παρέρχομαι, συνέρχομαι, εἰσέρχομαι.
