In the NT εἴσοδος is generally used of ";the act of entering,"; though possibly it may refer to ";the place of entering"; in Hebrews 10:19 (cf. ver. 20) and 2 Peter 1:11. In any case, this latter is the predominant use in the papyri where the word is constantly found of ";the entrance"; of a temple or a house, e.g. P Oxy II. 241.19 (c. A.D. 98) ὑποθήκης τρίτου μέρους οἰκίας, ἐν ᾗ αἴθριον, καὶ αὐλῆς καὶ εἰσώδων (l. –ό –) καὶ ἐξόδων καὶ τῶν συνκυρόντων τῶν ὄντων, ";on the security of the third part of a house, in which there is a hall, with the court and entrances and exits and appurtenances"; (Edd.), and the interesting ii/A.D. letter, P Ryl II. 233.1, regarding the building and fitting up of a house, where it is stated διὰ τῆς π ̣λ ̣αγίας ἡ εἴσοδός ἐστι καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος τῶν ἐργαζομένων πάντων, ";the entrance and exit for all the work-folk is at the side"; (Edd.). For the more metaphorical meaning, as in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, cf. the Latin papyrus letter of ii/A.D., P Oxy I. 32.14, in which a military tribune commends a certain Theon to the good offices of Domitius, ";et ideo peto a te ut habeat intr[o]itum at te."; See also M. Anton. v. 19, τὰ πράγματα αὐτὰ οὐδ᾽ ὁπωστιοῦν ψυχῆς ἅπτεται · οὐδ᾽ ἔχει εἴσοδον πρὸς ψυχήν.
