1: τηρέω

(Strong's #5083 — Verb — tereo — tay-reh'-o )

is translated "to preserve" in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 , where the verb is in the singular number, as the threefold subject, "spirit and soul and body," is regarded as the unit, constituting the person. The aorist or "point" tense regards the continuous "preservation" of the believer as a single, complete act, without reference to the time occupied in its accomplishment; in Jude 1:1 , AV (RV, "kept"). See KEEP , No. 1.

(Strong's #5442 — Verb — phulasso — foo-las'-so )

Note: In 2 Timothy 4:18 , AV, sozo, "to save," is translated "will preserve" (RV, "will save").
