3901 pararrhyéō (from 3844 /pará, "from close-beside" and 4483 /rhéō, "to flow, drift") – properly, to float (flow) alongside, drifting past a destination because pushed along by current.

3901 /pararrhyéō ("drift away from") only occurs in Heb 2:1 where it refers to going spiritually adrift – "sinning by slipping away" (from God's anchor). 3901 /pararrhyéō ("gradually drift away") means to "lapse" into spiritual defeat, describing how we slowly move away from our moorings in Christ.
