AI Summary
μένω means, at its core, to remain, stay, or abide 124. Used of place, it describes staying or lodging somewhere — remaining in a location, a house, or with a person 1. Used of time, it describes persisting or enduring, whether of a person continuing on in life, or of things such as cities, God's word, or sin that last or continue in force 1. Used of condition or state, it describes remaining as one is — staying single, staying faithful, remaining in a particular calling or status 1. It is also used of the Holy Spirit, of Christ, of God, and of believers being present with or continuing in one another 1. More broadly it covers general ideas of staying put, being stable and lasting, or persisting unchanged 23.
μένω can also be used transitively, with a person as its object, meaning to wait for, await someone 13; this includes awaiting a fate or an event that is coming to someone 3.
