meno describes staying in a place or condition and continuing in a person, teaching, love, or what endures.

The sampled usage most often describes continuing in a person or abiding setting, especially reciprocal relations expressed with “in.” It also denotes staying at a physical location, persistence of people or things that do not pass away or move, and remaining in an existing condition, teaching, or community.

1. Continuing in a person or abiding setting · dominant

   In John 15:4, multiple forms occur in the command and branch comparison: the branch cannot bear fruit unless it is in the vine, and the disciples are to be in Jesus. In 1 John 4:16, present active forms describe the reciprocal relation: the person who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in that person; 1 John 2:27 similarly places the anointing in the readers and calls them to remain in him.

2. Staying at a location or with people · common

   The forms describe concrete residence or continued presence: in Acts 18:3 the APB renders that he “stayed with them and worked,” and in Acts 21:7 it renders that the travelers “stayed with them one day.” John 1:38 asks where Jesus is staying, while Acts 27:41 describes the ship’s bow as remaining immovable after it stuck fast.

3. Persisting or being left in place · common

   In 1 Corinthians 13:13, the present active singular is used of faith, hope, and love as the three that remain. Other clauses apply the term to people still present, a work that survives, truth that remains in the readers, and things that cannot be shaken remaining after other things are removed.

4. Remaining in a condition, teaching, or group · occasional

   In 1 Corinthians 7:20, the present active form is used in the instruction that each person remain in the condition in which he was called; nearby verses apply this to remaining unmarried or as one is. In 2 Timothy 3:14, the second-person present active form directs Timothy to remain in what he learned, and 1 John 2:19 uses a pluperfect form in the conditional statement that those who left would have remained with the group if they had been from it.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously renders the clauses with “remain,” “abides,” “stayed,” “survives,” and “remained immovable.” These reflect whole-verse translation contexts rather than a fixed word-by-word English equivalent.
