In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a spiritual or heavenly dwelling, particularly in the context of the believer's future glorified body or the abode of spiritual beings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of a dwelling place was significant, as it represented not only a physical structure but also a place of belonging and identity. In the biblical context, the idea of a dwelling extends beyond the physical to encompass spiritual realities. The New Testament often contrasts earthly dwellings with heavenly ones, emphasizing the transient nature of the former and the eternal nature of the latter.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from oikétér (an inhabitant)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a habitation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abode (1), dwelling (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 3613: οἰκητήριον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">οἰκητήριον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὀικητηριου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">οἰκητήρ</span>), <span class="accented">a dwelling-place, habitation</span>: <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-6.htm">Jude 1:6</a>;
