“But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls — the plural exhortation affirms the community's resolve: they are not apostates but believers who persevere. Preserve souls (peripoieō psychē) means to maintain life in God's covenant community through faithful endurance.
