Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "διά" (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and the verb "σῴζω" (sōzō, meaning "to save" or "to preserve"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διασῴζω, similar concepts of deliverance and preservation can be found in Hebrew words such as יָשַׁע (yasha, Strong's Hebrew 3467), meaning "to save" or "to deliver," and נָצַל (natsal, Strong's Hebrew 5337), meaning "to rescue" or "to deliver." These terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe God's saving acts on behalf of His people. Usage: The verb διασῴζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being saved or preserved through a perilous situation, often implying a complete or thorough rescue. Context: The Greek verb διασῴζω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals or groups are brought safely through dangerous or life-threatening situations. It emphasizes not just the act of saving, but the completeness and thoroughness of the rescue. This term is often used in narratives involving physical danger, such as shipwrecks or other perilous events, where divine intervention or providence ensures the safety of those involved. In the Berean Standard Bible, διασῴζω is used in passages such as Acts 27:44, where it describes the safe deliverance of Paul and others from a shipwreck: "The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land." Here, the term underscores the successful preservation of life despite the surrounding chaos and danger. Theologically, διασῴζω can also be seen as a metaphor for spiritual salvation, where believers are preserved through the trials and tribulations of life by divine grace. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness in delivering His people from both physical and spiritual perils.
