Strong's Lexicon katamenó: To remain, to stay, to abide Original Word: καταμένω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "κατά" (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and the verb "μένω" (menó, meaning "to remain" or "to abide"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of abiding or remaining is יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's H3427), which means to sit, dwell, or remain. Usage: The verb "katamenó" conveys the idea of remaining or staying in a particular place or state. It implies a sense of persistence or continuance, often with an emphasis on dwelling or abiding in a specific location or condition. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both physical and metaphorical abiding, such as remaining in a place or continuing in faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of remaining or abiding was significant in both physical and philosophical contexts. Physically, it could refer to staying in a particular location, which was important for community and familial ties. Philosophically, abiding could relate to steadfastness in beliefs or virtues. In the Jewish context, abiding in God's presence or commandments was a central theme, reflecting a life of faithfulness and obedience.
