2 Corinthians 7:10
King James Version
11 Jun 2026
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
σωτηρία
From soter — saviour, the one who rescues from danger. Soteria is comprehensive — healing, wholeness, rescue, preservation. Peter stands before the council and says there is no other name. Not as arrogance. As the deepest mercy — there is one who can save, and His name is Jesus.
