'Survives' in the Bible

However, if the injured servant survives one or two days, the owner will not be punished, for he has suffered the loss.

Anyone who survives in any of those places where he is a resident foreigner must be helped by his neighbors with silver, gold, equipment, and animals, along with voluntary offerings for the temple of God which is in Jerusalem.'"

If what someone has built survives, he will receive a reward.
