Huparcho marks someone or something as being, existing, or already present in the situation described.

The occurrences use the verb to state that persons, things, qualities, or conditions are present or exist within the clause: a person is identified by a condition, something is available, or a circumstance is already in place. The same broad use appears with people and their circumstances as well as with things described in relation to someone.

   The present participle identifies persons or conditions within a larger statement: in Acts 17:24 the APB renders God as “being Lord of heaven and earth,” and in Galatians 2:14 it renders Cephas as “being a Jew.” Finite forms likewise occur where something is available or present: in Acts 3:6 the APB renders Peter's statement, “what I do have I give to you,” while Acts 27:34 presents food as connected with preservation.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation with the clause, using expressions such as “being Lord,” “what I do have,” “there are,” and “already.” Because it is a whole-verse translation, these expressions show the verse contexts rather than fixed English equivalents.
