It often conveys the idea of a permanent or enduring presence, particularly in a spiritual or metaphorical sense. This term is frequently used to describe the indwelling of the Holy Spirit or the presence of Christ within believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of dwelling or inhabiting was often associated with the presence of deities in temples or sacred spaces. The New Testament writers adapted this cultural understanding to express the intimate and transformative presence of God within the lives of believers. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit was a radical departure from the Old Testament understanding of God's presence, which was often associated with the temple or specific locations.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1774</b> <i>enoikéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">1722</a> <i>/en</i> "in," intensifying <a href="/greek/3611.htm">3611</a> <i>/oikéō</i>, "dwell" at home, <i>in</i> one's personal residence) – properly, dwelling <i>in</i> a state (condition), i.e. <i>at home</i>; to <i>inhabit</i> ("in-habit") as one's personal residence (<i>abiding in</i>dwelling).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/3611.htm">oikeó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to dwell in<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dwell (2), dwells (2), dwelt (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1774: ἐνοικέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐνοικέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐνοίκω</span>; future <span class="greek2">ἐνοικήσω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐνώκησα</span>; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">יָשַׁב</span>; <span class="accented">to dwell in</span>; in the N.
