Menō signifie demeurer, rester, habiter. Chez Jean, le mot décrit l'union continue du croyant avec Jésus — demeurer attaché à lui comme le sarment au cep.

Menō is a quiet but vital word: to remain, dwell, continue. John uses it for the mutual indwelling of Christ and the believer — “Abide in me, and I in you.”

To abide is not a burst of effort but a settled staying-close: continuing in Jesus’ word, love, and presence over time. The promise is that those who abide “bear much fruit,” because the life flows from the vine, not the branch.
