Strong's Lexicon
emmenó: To remain, to abide, to continue in

Original Word: ἐμμένω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: emmenó
Pronunciation: em-MEN-oh
Phonetic Spelling: (em-men'-o)
Definition: To remain, to abide, to continue in
Meaning: I remain (abide) in, abide by, maintain, persevere in.

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and the verb "μένω" (menó, meaning "to remain" or "to abide").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "emmenó" is similar to the Hebrew verb "שָׁמַר" (shamar, Strong's H8104), which means "to keep" or "to guard," often used in the context of keeping commandments or covenants.

Usage: The verb "emmenó" conveys the idea of steadfastness and perseverance. It implies a firm adherence to a particular state, condition, or set of beliefs. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the act of remaining faithful to teachings, covenants, or commitments.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of remaining or abiding was significant in both philosophical and religious contexts. Philosophers often spoke of remaining true to one's principles, while religious adherents were encouraged to remain faithful to their deities and rituals. In the Jewish context, remaining faithful to the covenant with God was a central theme, which carried over into early Christian teachings.
