σῴζω

Strong’s: G4982

Associated OET lemmas: σῴζω

Notes: The meanings of σῴζω and σωτηρία in this subdomain differ from the meaning of ἐξαιρέομαι (21.17: ἐξαιρέω) in implying not only a rescue from danger but a restoration to a former state of safety and well being. It is this aspect of the terms σῴζω and σωτηρία which provides such an excellent basis for their use in denoting religious salvation.; It is possible that διασῴζω[b] is somewhat more emphatic in meaning than σῴζω[c]. It is also possible that in a number of contexts σῴζω and διασῴζω may have the added implication of having rescued such persons from a state of illness.
