Psalms 31:23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints; for the Lord
preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Psalms 97:10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; he
preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
DC 63:1c who willeth to take even them whom he will take, and
preserveth in life them whom he will preserve; who buildeth up at his own will and pleasure; and destroyeth when he pleases, and is able to cast the soul down to hell.
