It implies a firm adherence to a particular state, condition, or set of beliefs. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the act of remaining faithful to teachings, covenants, or commitments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of remaining or abiding was significant in both philosophical and religious contexts. Philosophers often spoke of remaining true to one's principles, while religious adherents were encouraged to remain faithful to their deities and rituals. In the Jewish context, remaining faithful to the covenant with God was a central theme, which carried over into early Christian teachings.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1696</b> <i>emménō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1772.htm">1772</a> <i>/énnomos</i>, "<i>in</i> a sphere" and <a href="/greek/3306.htm">3306</a> <i>/ménō</i>, "remain, abide with") – properly, <i>remain in a condition</i>, <i>steadfastly</i> abide.</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/3306.htm">menó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to abide in, fig. to be true to, to persevere<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abide (1), continue (2), stayed (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 1696: ἐμμένω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐμμένω</span></span> (<span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> <span class="greek2">ἐνμένω</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-22.htm">Acts 14:22</a>; see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐνεμεινα</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; (<span class="abbreviation">Augustine</span>,<span class="latin">immaneo</span>), <span class="accented">to remain in, continue</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> properly, in a place: <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-30.htm">Acts 28:30</a> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to persevere in</span> anything, a state of mind, etc.; <span class="accented">to hold fast, be true to, abide by, keep</span>: <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">πίστει</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-22.htm">Acts 14:22</a> (<span class="greek2">νόμῳ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὅρκοις</span>, etc. in the Greek writings); <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> (more rarely so in the classics, as <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">ταῖς</span> <span class="greek2">σπονδαις</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 4, 118; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">πίστει</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 3, 70, 4): <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> (so <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> only) <span class="greek2">τοῖς</span> <span class="greek2">γεγραμμένοις</span>, <a href="/interlinear/galatians/3-10.htm">Galatians 3:10</a> from <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/27-26.htm">Deuteronomy 27:26</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">διαθήκη</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/8-9.htm">Hebrews 8:9</a> from <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/38-32.htm">Jeremiah 38:32</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Jer. 31:32>).
