Stedfastness
STEDFASTNESS [isbe]
STEDFASTNESS - 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" (2 Pet 3:17; compare 1 Cor 15:58).
