In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of deliverance or rescue, indicating a divine intervention where God or His agents remove someone from danger or distress.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of deliverance was often associated with gods or heroes rescuing individuals from peril. The New Testament usage of "exaireó" reflects a similar understanding but emphasizes the power and sovereignty of the one true God in delivering His people. This term underscores the belief in God's active role in the lives of believers, rescuing them from both physical and spiritual dangers.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1807</b> <i>eksairéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> <i>/ek</i>, "completely out <i>from</i>," intensifying <a href="/greek/138.htm">138</a> <i>/hairéomai</i>, "personally choose, prefer") – properly, remove <i>completely </i>("totally <i>out</i> from"), i.e. bring into a "<i>complete rescue</i> (full removal)."</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/1807.htm">1807</a> (<i>eksairéō</i>) emphasizes <i>total</i> removal ("wholly out from").
