'Preserve' in the Bible

And the disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us, we are going to die!”

For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake, he is the one who will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

The one who loves his life will destroy it, and the one who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.
