Do only living things "dwell"? (this Greek word is also sometimes translated "living")

My own take is not to take the word "dwell" too far. If a verse said "hatred dwells in him", we wouldn't think "oh, this means hatred is a living thing" and dissect the nature and essence of hatred. We would just realize it's non-literal language and move on. I see "dwell" and take it to mean that that is where sin always is......it is always present. Like "lives" as opposed to "visits".
