It implies an active role in ensuring the continuation or sustenance of life. This term is often used in contexts where life is spared or preserved from danger or death.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of preserving life was significant, especially in the context of warfare, slavery, and natural disasters. The act of sparing life was often seen as an act of mercy or divine intervention. In Jewish tradition, life was considered sacred, and the preservation of life was a key aspect of God's covenant with His people.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2225</b> <i>zōogonéō</i> – properly, preserve alive (used in antiquity to "bring forth alive," J.
