The term is used in various contexts throughout Scripture, emphasizing the importance of steadfastness and perseverance in the Christian life. Retain in Wisdom and Knowledge <a href="/proverbs/4-4.htm">Proverbs 4:4-5</a> highlights the importance of retaining wisdom and understanding: "He taught me and said, 'Let your heart retain my words; keep my commandments and live. Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn from them.'" Here, the act of retaining is associated with life and obedience, underscoring the value of holding onto divine instruction. Retain in Faith In the New Testament, retaining faith is a recurring theme. Paul, in his letters, often encourages believers to hold fast to their faith. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-2.htm">1 Corinthians 15:2</a> , he writes, "By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain." The retention of faith is crucial for salvation, indicating that belief must be accompanied by perseverance. Retain in Spiritual Truths The Apostle Paul also emphasizes the importance of retaining sound doctrine. In <a href="/2_timothy/1-13.htm">2 Timothy 1:13-14</a> , he instructs Timothy, "Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us." Retaining sound teaching is vital for the integrity and purity of the Christian message. Retain in Love and Unity The concept of retaining is also applied to love and unity within the body of Christ. In <a href="/ephesians/4-3.htm">Ephesians 4:3</a> , Paul urges believers to "make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Retaining unity requires effort and intentionality, reflecting the communal aspect of the Christian faith. Retain in Personal Conduct Retaining personal conduct that aligns with Christian values is another aspect found in Scripture. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-21.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:21-22</a> , Paul advises, "Test all things. Hold fast to what is good. Abstain from every form of evil." Here, retaining what is good involves discernment and a commitment to righteousness. Retain in the Face of Trials The Bible also speaks to retaining faith and hope in the midst of trials. <a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> states, "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him." Retaining faith during difficult times is portrayed as a pathway to divine reward. In summary, the biblical concept of "retain" encompasses a wide range of applications, all of which point to the necessity of holding steadfastly to the truths, values, and faith that define the Christian life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
