This is the verse that first convinced me of the doctrine of conditional security. I remember reading this as a new convert and it fed the fear of God in my heart.
What does it mean “if a man abide not in me?” It means that they fall away from the faith or depart from Christ.
Abide:
μένω to remain, not to depart, to last, endure.
