It conveys the idea of being seated or settled in one's position, both physically and metaphorically. In a spiritual context, it often refers to the firmness of faith and conviction in the face of challenges or opposition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of being "steadfast" was highly valued, especially in the context of philosophy and ethics. A steadfast person was seen as one who was reliable and consistent, not easily swayed by external circumstances. This idea was also important in the early Christian community, where believers were encouraged to remain firm in their faith despite persecution and societal pressures.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1476</b> <i>hedraíos</i> (an adjective, derived from <i>aphedrōn</i>, "a seat or base") – properly, <i>sit</i> (solidly-based, well-seated); (figuratlively) steadfast (firm), <i>morally fixed</i>; firm in purpose (mind); "well-stationed" (securely positioned), not given to fluctuation or "moving off course."</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 hedra (a seat)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sitting, steadfast<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>firm (1), steadfast (2).<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 1476: ἑδραῖος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἑδραῖος</span></span> (rarely feminine <span class="greek2">ἑδραια</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 11, 1)), <span class="greek2">ἑδραιον</span> (<span class="greek2">ἕδρα</span>, seat, chair); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">sitting, sedentary,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">firm, immovable, steadfast,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others); in the N.
