ἀμετακίνητος
Ametakinetos
Adjective
Immovable, Steadfast

Definition

The Greek adjective ametakinetos means "immovable" or "unable to be moved." It appears in 1 Corinthians 15:58 as Paul's call to believers to be immovable in their resurrection hope and therefore abounding in the Lord's work.

Usage & Theological Significance

Paul's use of ametakinetos at the climax of his resurrection chapter is strategic. Because the resurrection of Christ guarantees our resurrection, believers are to be immovable — not shaken by persecution, suffering, doubt, or cultural pressure. Your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
