It implies a commitment to continue in a particular state or relationship, often in the face of challenges or difficulties. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a steadfast adherence to faith, teaching, or fellowship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of remaining steadfast or loyal was highly valued, especially in the context of personal relationships, philosophical schools, and religious practices. The early Christian community emphasized perseverance in faith and doctrine, often in the face of persecution or societal pressure. The use of "prosmenó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural emphasis on loyalty and steadfastness, particularly in one's relationship with God and the community of believers.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4357</b> <i>prosménō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4314.htm">4314</a> <i>/prós</i>, "interactively <i>with</i>" and <a href="/greek/3306.htm">3306</a> <i>/ménō</i>, "abide, remain") – properly, <i>remain together</i> (directly, intimately); "<i>remain attached to</i>, <i>cleave unto</i>,<i> abide in</i>" (<i>A-S</i>).</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/4314.htm">pros</a> and <a href="/greek/3306.htm">menó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to wait longer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>continue (1), continues (1), remain (2), remained (3).<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 4357: προσμένω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προσμένω</span></span>; 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">προσμείνας</span>, infinitive <span class="greek2">προσμεῖναι</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to remain with</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">πρός</span></span>, IV. 3): with a dative of the person <span class="accented">to continue with one,</span> <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-32.htm">Matthew 15:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/8-2.htm">Mark 8:2</a> (here <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading omit; <span class="manuref">Tr</span> brackets the dative); <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">κυρίῳ</span>, to be steadfastly devoted to (<span class="abbreviation">A.
