Abide
John 15:4-7
Excerpt
R. Bultmann (John [Eng. tr., 1971] 535 n.1) correctly emphasizes two aspects of μένω ἐν: In reference to humankind “abide in” designates “loyalty”; in reference to the reveal-er or God it designates “the eternal validity of the divine act of salvation for the believer.”Balz, Horst Robert, and Gerhard Schneider.
