Tēreō has the sense of careful watching — guarding, preserving, holding fast. Jude tells believers to “keep yourselves in the love of God”; Jesus says, “If you love me, you will keep (tērēsete) my commandments.”
It is also what God does for us: he is able to “keep you from stumbling” (Jude 24). Christian discipleship is therefore reciprocal keeping — we keep his word, and he keeps us.
Definition: perhaps akin to G2334 (θεωρέω)); to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from G5442 (φυλάσσω), which is properly to prevent escaping; and from G2892 (κουστωδία), which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus), i.e. to note (a prophecy; figuratively, to fulfil a command); by implication, to detain (in custody; figuratively, to maintain); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively, to keep unmarried); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively, to keep unmarried)
KJV usage: hold fast, keep(- er), (pre-, re-)serve, watch
