Mansions

New Testament

Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words

Definition

1moneG3438

primarily "a staying, abiding" (akin to meno, "to abide"), denotes an "abode" (Eng., "manor," "manse," etc.), translated "mansions" in Joh 14:2; "abode" in Joh 14:23. There is nothing in the word to indicate separate compartments in heaven; neither does it suggest temporary resting places on the road.
