MANSION, KJV for μονή, G3665, John 14:2, meaning a permanent dwelling place of which there are many in heaven, appointed by the Father for His children in Christ. Mansion is derived from Lat. mansio, but this does not mean a palatial house. A room set apart for each person is connoted. Derived from μένειν, “to abide permanently,” the word indicates the believer’s eternal, unchangeable and final home in the House of God.
