Strong's Lexicon diamenó: To remain, to continue, to endure Original Word: διαμένω Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and μένω (menó, meaning "to remain" or "to abide"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew concept of remaining or enduring can be found in words like עָמַד (amad, Strong's H5975), which means "to stand" or "to remain," and יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's H3427), meaning "to sit" or "to dwell." Usage: The verb διαμένω (diamenó) conveys the idea of remaining steadfast or continuing in a particular state or condition. It implies perseverance and endurance over time. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the enduring nature of faith, love, or truth, emphasizing the importance of steadfastness in the Christian life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of endurance and steadfastness was highly valued, especially in philosophical and ethical teachings. The early Christian community, facing persecution and trials, would have found great encouragement in the exhortation to "remain" or "endure" in their faith. The use of διαμένω in the New Testament reflects this cultural emphasis on perseverance, particularly in the face of adversity.
