emmeno denotes continuing in a commitment or remaining in a place, as shown in its four occurrences.

The attested use most often concerns continuing in a stated commitment: disciples are urged to continue in faith, obedience concerns all written requirements, and a covenant is not continued. A separate occurrence describes remaining in a residence for a period.

1. Continuing in a commitment or obligation · dominant

   In Acts 14:22, the present active infinitive occurs as the disciples are urged to continue in the faith; the APB renders the clause “to continue in the faith.” In Galatians 3:10, the present active singular stands in the statement about not abiding by all things written in the Book of the Law, while Hebrews 8:9 uses the aorist active plural of those who did not continue in the covenant.

2. Remaining in a location · rare

   In Acts 28:30, the aorist active singular describes his residence in rented quarters; the APB renders the verse “He stayed two whole years in his own rented quarters.”

   Acts 28:30

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “continue” in the faith and covenant contexts, “abide by” in the statement about what is written, and “stayed” for residence in Acts 28:30. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than assigning a separate English equivalent to each form.
