Greek: meno remain continue abide live dwell stay

John 17: 6 -8 I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world… Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

John 15: 1 -4 I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

John 15: 1 -4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

John 14: 16 -17 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth… you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

John 16: 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.

John 10: 2 -4, 11 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep… the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out… his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

John 10: 2 -4, 11 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice… I am the good shepherd.
