         Comments: In {S:05800800900050} the implication of ‘to continue in a covenant’ is to adhere to the articles or stipulations of a covenant. Accordingly, one may render {S:05800800900050} as ‘because they did not remain faithful to my covenant.’ In {S:04401402200014} (παρακαλοῦντες ἐμμένειν τῇ πίστει ‘encourage them to remain true to the faith’), it is also possible to translate the expression ‘to remain true to the faith’ as ‘to continue to believe.’
