Pareiserchomai describes coming in, whether false brothers enter secretly or law comes in within the stated sequence.

The two occurrences show coming in within distinct clauses: false brothers secretly enter in Galatians 2:4, while law comes in in Romans 5:20. The limited evidence supports one broad use rather than separate lexical senses.

   In Galatians 2:4, the aorist active plural form refers to false brothers whose entry is described in the verse as secret and connected with spying out freedom. In Romans 5:20, the aorist active singular form has law as the subject; the APB renders the clause "Law then came in" before stating that trespass might increase.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plural occurrence in Galatians 2:4 with "secretly slipped in" and the singular occurrence in Romans 5:20 with "came in." These phrases show the clauses' presentation rather than fixed translations of the term.
