It is used to describe someone who is not settled in one place or who is wavering in their position or beliefs. In the New Testament, it often carries a metaphorical sense of spiritual or moral instability.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, stability was highly valued, both in terms of physical residence and philosophical or moral consistency. The concept of being "unsettled" could imply a lack of reliability or trustworthiness. In a spiritual context, it could suggest a failure to adhere firmly to the teachings of the faith.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/2476.htm">histémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be unsettled, i.e. homeless<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>homeless (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 790: ἀστατέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀστατέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀστάτω</span>; (<span class="greek2">ἄστατος</span> unstable, strolling about; cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀκατάστατος</span></span>); <span class="accented">to wander about, to rove without a settled abode</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
