Greek sozo, the principal NT verb for saving, rescuing, delivering, healing, or preserving. The semantic range is broad: sozo covers physical rescue from drowning (Matthew 14:30, Peter's Lord, save me); deliverance from danger (Acts 27:31, salvation of the shipwreck-crew); physical healing (Mark 5:34, the woman with the issue of blood, thy faith hath made thee whole [sozo]); and supremely the eschatological salvation of the believer from sin, wrath, and judgment (Acts 16:31, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved [sozo]; Romans 10:9-10, If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved [sozo]; Ephesians 2:8, For by grace are ye saved [sozo, perfect tense] through faith). The Reformed-confessional doctrine of salvation (the ordo salutis) distinguishes the various phases of sozo: justification (saved from sin's penalty), sanctification (saved from sin's power), glorification (saved from sin's presence). The patriarchal-Reformed reader holds the integrated NT substance: salvation is comprehensive, divinely initiated, accomplished in Christ's substitutionary work, applied by the Spirit to the elect through faith, and consummated in eschatological glory. The verb's many registers in the NT are integrated rather than reducible to any one phase.
