Word Origin: From the Greek preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and the verb μένω (menō, meaning "to remain" or "to abide").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαμένω, similar concepts of enduring or remaining can be found in Hebrew words such as:

- עָמַד (amad) • Strong's Hebrew 5975: To stand, remain, endure.
- יָשַׁב (yashab) • Strong's Hebrew 3427: To sit, dwell, remain.
- קוּם (qum) • Strong's Hebrew 6965: To arise, stand, endure.

These Hebrew terms convey similar ideas of persistence, steadfastness, and enduring presence, reflecting the continuity of these themes across both the Old and New Testaments.

Usage: The verb διαμένω is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of enduring or persisting in a state or condition. It often implies a steadfastness or constancy in faith, love, or other virtues.

Context: The Greek verb διαμένω (diaménō) appears in the New Testament to describe a state of enduring or persisting, often with a connotation of steadfastness or constancy. This term is used to emphasize the importance of remaining faithful or constant in one's beliefs or actions, particularly in the context of Christian faith and practice.

In the Berean Standard Bible, διαμένω is used in passages that encourage believers to remain steadfast in their faith and love. For example, in 1 Corinthians 13:13, the concept of enduring love is highlighted: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love." Here, the enduring nature of love is underscored as a virtue that persists beyond all others.

The term also appears in contexts that stress the importance of continuing in the teachings and commandments of Christ. In John 15:9-10, Jesus instructs His disciples to remain in His love by keeping His commandments: "As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love."

The use of διαμένω in the New Testament serves as a call to believers to maintain their commitment to Christ and His teachings, regardless of external circumstances or challenges. It is a reminder of the enduring nature of faith and the necessity of perseverance in the Christian life.
