Stedfastness

Every entry below is printed as its editors wrote it, with the edition named.

ISBE 1915

From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915). Where it reports or adopts critical theories, those are the views of its writers or the scholars they cite; Gospel Companion holds the historic Christian view of Scripture.

sted'-fast-nes:

(1) stereoma, "firmness": "The steadfastness of your faith in Christ" (Col 2:5). Some take this figuratively, in a military sense, of a "solid front" (see Thayer, Greek-English Lexicon of New Testament, under the word).

(2) sterigmos, "stability" (2Pe 3:17; compare 1Co 15:58).
