an adjective signifying "sojourning in a strange place, away from one's own people" (para, "from," expressing a contrary condition, and epidemeo, "to sojourn;" demos, "a people"), is used of OT saints, Hebrews 11:13 , "pilgrims" (coupled with xenos, "a foreigner"); of Christians, 1 Peter 1:1 , "sojourners (of the Dispersion)," RV; Hebrews 2:11 , "pilgrims" (coupled with paroikos, "an alien, sojourner"); the word is thus used metaphorically of those to whom Heaven is their own country, and who are sojourners on earth.
