'Remain' in the Bible

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.

You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.

When he arrived and saw the grace of God [that was bestowed on them], he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with an unwavering heart to stay true and devoted to the Lord.

When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he refused;

Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain on the ship, you cannot be saved.”

What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow?

Now as to the matters of which you wrote: It is good (beneficial, advantageous) for a man not to touch a woman [outside marriage].

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows, [that as a practical matter] it is good if they remain [single and entirely devoted to the Lord] as I am.

(but even if she does leave him, let her remain single or else be reconciled to her husband) and that the husband should not leave his wife.

Each one should remain in the condition in which he was [when he was] called.

I think then that because of the impending distress [that is, the pressure of the current trouble], it is good for a man to remain as he is.

For I do not wish to see you right now just in passing, but I hope to remain with you for some time [later on], if the Lord permits.

But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,

I do not say this to condemn you, for I have said before that you are [nested] in our hearts [and you will remain there] to die together and to live together [with us].

For all who depend on the Law [seeking justification and salvation by obedience to the Law and the observance of rituals] are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed (condemned to destruction) is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, so as to practice them.”

yet to remain in my body is more necessary and essential for your sake.

Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are still alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede [into His presence] those [believers] who have fallen asleep [in death].

Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!

I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet [in the congregation].

Likewise, good deeds are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be hidden [indefinitely].

They will perish, but You remain [forever and ever];And they will all wear out like a garment,

And like a robe You will roll them up;Like a garment they will be changed.But You are the same [forever],And Your years will never end.”

Now this [expression], “Yet once more,” indicates the removal and final transformation of all those things which can be shaken—that is, of that which has been created—so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Now, little children (believers, dear ones), remain in Him [with unwavering faith], so that when He appears [at His return], we may have [perfect] confidence and not be ashamed and shrink away from Him at His coming.

But whoever has the world’s goods (adequate resources), and sees his brother in need, but has no compassion for him, how does the love of God live in him?

By this we know [with confident assurance] that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given to us His [Holy] Spirit.
