Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo henos hekastou hemon {ἀπὸ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου ἡμῶν | apò he-nós he-kás-tou hē-môn} stresses the universal and individual scope of God’s nearness, and the participle hyparchonta {ὑπάρχοντα | hy-pár-chon-ta} functions predicatively, “being” or “as One who is,” linking God’s existence with His relational proximity to every person. In English, the optative forms are conveyed by “might” and “perhaps,” the particle cluster is rendered with natural conditional language, and the final participial phrase is turned into a finite clause (“He is not far from each one of us”) to preserve clarity and flow while retaining the verse’s contrast between uncertain human searching and assured divine nearness.
