English (Abbott-Smith)

σώζω (on the more accurate σῴζω, v. WH, Intr., §410; Bl., §3, 1-3), [in LXX chiefly for ישׁע hi., also for מלט ni., נצל ni., etc.;]
to save from peril, injury or suffering: Mt 8:25, Mk 13:20, Lk 23:35, al.; τ. ψυχήν, Mt 16:25, al.; seq. ἐκ, Jo 12:27, He 5:7, Ju 5; of healing, restoring to health: Mt 9:22, Mk 5:34, al. In NT, esp. of salvation from spiritual disease and death, in which sense it is "spoken of in Scripture as either (1) past, (2) present, or (3) future, according as redemption, grace, or glory is the point in view. Thus (1) Ro 8:24, Eph 2:5, 8 II Ti 1:9, Tit 3:5; (2) Ac 2:47, I Co 1:18, 15:2, II Co 2:15; (3) Mt 10:22, Ro 13:11, Phl 2:12, He 9:28" (Vau. on Ro 5:9). Seq. ἀπό, Mt 1:21, Ac 2:40, Ro 5:9; ἐκ, Ja 5:20, Ju 23 (cf. Cremer, 532ff.).

English (Thayer)

(others, σῴζω (cf. WH. Introductory § 410; Meisterhans, p. 87)); future σώσω; 1st aorist ἔσωσα; perfect σέσωκα; passive, present σώζομαι; imperfect ἐσωζομην; perfect 3rd person singular (σέσωσται and (according to Tdf.) σέσωται (cf. Kühner, 1:912; (Photius, under the word; Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 99; Veitch, under the word)); 1st aorist ἐσώθην; 1future σωθήσομαι; (σῶς 'safe and sound' (cf. Latin sanus; Curtius, § 570; Vanicek, p. 1038)); from Homer down; the Sept. very often for הושִׁיעַ , also for מִלֵּט, נִצֵּל, and הִצִּיל, sometimes for עָזַר; to save, to keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction (opposed to ἀπόλλυμι, which see); Vulg. salvumfacio (or fio), salvo (salvifico, libero, etc.);
a. universally, τινα, one (from injury or peril); to save a suffering one (from perishing), e. g. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health: Buttmann, § 144,25); to save (i. e. rescue): τήν ψυχήν, (physical) life, R G L in σῴζειν τινα ἐκ with the genitive of the place, to bring safe forth from, ἐκ τῆς ὥρας ταύτης, from the peril of this hour, ἐκ θανάτου, Winer s Grammar, § 30,6a.; see ἐκ, I:5).
b. to save in the technical biblical sense; — negatively, to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment, to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance: ἀπό τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν, ἀπό τῆς ὀργῆς namely, τοῦ Θεοῦ, from the punitive wrath of God at the judgment of the last day, ἀπό τῆς γενεάς τῆς σκολιᾶς ταύτης, ψυχήν ἐκ θανάτου (see θάνατος, 2), ἐκ πυρός ἁρπάζοντες, to make one a partaker of the salvation by Christ (opposed to ἀπόλλυμι, which see): hence, σῴζεσθαι and ἐισέρχεσθαι εἰς τήν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ are interchanged, σῴζεσθαι and ζωήν αἰώνιον ἔχειν, ὁ αἰών ὁ μέλλων, we can understand why τό σῴζεσθαι is spoken of in some passages as a present possession, in others as a good yet future: — as a blessing beginning (or begun) on earth, τῇ ἐλπίδι (dative of the instrument) ἐσώθημεν (aorist of the time when they turned to Christ), χάριτι ἐστε σεσῳσμένοι διά τῆς πίστεως, Buttmann, § 144,25), 8; — as a thing still future, τήν ψυχήν, ψυχάς, τό πνεῦμα, passive, εἰς, C. 1, p. 185b bottom), τινα εἰς τήν βασιλείαν τοῦ κυρίου αἰώνιον, to save and transport into etc. ἡ εὐσέβεια ἡ σωζουσα εἰς τήν ζωήν αἰώνιον, Passow, vol. ii., p. 1802{a}; (cf.
