It implies steadfastness and persistence, often in the context of faith, relationships, or circumstances. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of staying or abiding in a spiritual or physical sense.<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 everyday contexts. Philosophers often spoke of remaining steadfast in virtue or truth, while in daily life, remaining in a place or relationship was seen as a sign of loyalty and commitment. In the early Christian context, παραμένω took on a spiritual dimension, emphasizing the importance of remaining in Christ and in the teachings of the apostles.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3887</b> <i>paraménō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">3844</a> <i>/pará</i>, "from close-alongside" and <a href="/greek/3306.htm">3306</a> <i>/ménō</i>, "abide, remain") – properly, remain close-beside (near), i.e. <i>abide</i> ("continue alongside") in a <i>close-working</i> relationship (partnership); a "<i>stay-close</i> remaining."</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/3844.htm">para</a> and <a href="/greek/3306.htm">menó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to remain beside or near<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abides (1), continue (1), continuing (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 3887: παραμένω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παραμένω</span></span>; future <span class="greek2">παραμένω</span>; 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">παραμείνας</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to remain beside, continue always near</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">παρά</span></span>, IV. 1): <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-23.htm">Hebrews 7:23</a>; opposed to <span class="greek2">ἀπεληλυθεναι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-25.htm">James 1:25</a> (<span class="accented">and continues to do so,</span> not departing till all stains are washed away, cf. <a href="/interlinear/james/1-24.htm">James 1:24</a>); <span class="accented">with one,</span> <span class="greek2">πρός</span> <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/16-6.htm">1 Corinthians 16:6</a>; <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> (as often in Greek authors), <span class="accented">to survive, remain alive</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 1, 30), <a href="/interlinear/philippians/1-25.htm">Philippians 1:25</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (where <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span>: "<span class="greek2">παραμένω</span> is relative, while <span class="greek2">μένω</span> is absolute."
