The word for “abide” is menō in Greek; it can be translated “remain” or “stay” or “dwell” or “make your home in.”[10] We could translate the verse like this: “Make your home in me, as I make my home in you.” Jesus uses this word menō not once but ten times in this short teaching. Go read it. He’s driving to a singular point: Make your home in my presence by the Spirit, and never leave.
