'Keeping' in the Bible
For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.
Verse Concepts
But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.
