Strong's Lexicon paramenó: To remain, to continue, to stay Original Word: παραμένω Word Origin: From the Greek words παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and μένω (menó, meaning "to remain" or "to abide"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραμένω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's H3427), meaning "to sit, dwell, or remain," and עָמַד (amad, Strong's H5975), meaning "to stand, remain, or endure." Usage: The verb παραμένω (paramenó) conveys the idea of remaining or continuing in a particular state, condition, or place. It implies steadfastness and persistence, often in the context of faith, relationships, or circumstances. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of staying or abiding in a spiritual or physical sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of remaining or abiding was significant in both philosophical and everyday contexts. Philosophers often spoke of remaining steadfast in virtue or truth, while in daily life, remaining in a place or relationship was seen as a sign of loyalty and commitment. In the early Christian context, παραμένω took on a spiritual dimension, emphasizing the importance of remaining in Christ and in the teachings of the apostles.
