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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 4992</b> <i>sōtḗrion</i> (a substantival adjective derived from <a href="/greek/4990.htm">4990</a> <i>/sōtḗr</i>, "Savior") – properly, of salvation ("<i>applied</i> salvation"), emphasizing the direct application of God's salvation. <a href="/greek/4991.htm">See 4991</a> (<i>sōtēria</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4990.htm">sótér</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>saving, bringing salvation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bringing salvation (1), salvation (1), salvation (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4992: σωτήριος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σωτήριος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σωτήριον</span> (<span class="greek2">σωτήρ</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> down, <span class="accented">saving, bringing salvation</span>: <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">χάρις</span> <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">σωτήριος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/titus/2-11.htm">Titus 2:11</a> (Wis. 1:14; 3Macc. 7:18; <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">σωτήριος</span> <span class="greek2">δίαιτα</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Clement of Alexandria</span>, Paedag., p. 48 edition Sylb.).
