This certainly seems to be the case in most instances in Paul.
However, in a couple of texts (2 Cor 1:6; Phil 1:19), I believe
the sense is 'deliverance', i.e. rescue from great danger. That
seems clear enough in the Philippians text, but a defense of my
reading of the Corinthians passage would take us far beyond the
parameters of the list!
