The same Greek verb is behind all of them."},{"l":"First, in plain English","t":"**The lifeboat saved them.** **The surgeon saved her.** **He was saved.** English still uses one word for all three and only the last one sounds churchy, which tells you the drift is in the ear rather than the dictionary."},{"l":"What you are seeing","t":"Sozo is used of rescue from drowning, of physical healing, and of salvation. Thy faith hath made thee whole and thy faith hath saved thee are the same Greek sentence."},{"l":"Why translators split","t":"English has the word but has narrowed its religious use so far that the overlap is invisible."},{"l":"The rule to carry away","t":"When one Greek word is rendered by several English words inside one Gospel, list the places.
