Berean Strong's Lexicon sótérios: Salvation, saving, bringing salvation Original Word: σωτήριος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "sōtēr" (σωτήρ), meaning "savior" or "deliverer." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3444 (יְשׁוּעָה, yeshua): Meaning "salvation" or "deliverance." - H3467 (יָשַׁע, yasha): Meaning "to save" or "to deliver." Usage: The term "sótérios" is used to describe something that pertains to salvation or has the power to save. It is often used in the context of God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ, emphasizing the deliverance from sin and its consequences. The word highlights the transformative and life-giving aspect of God's intervention in human history. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of salvation was often associated with deliverance from physical danger or political oppression. However, in the New Testament, "sótérios" takes on a deeper spiritual meaning, referring to the deliverance from sin and eternal death through Jesus Christ. This salvation is not just a future hope but a present reality for believers, impacting their daily lives and relationships.
