Deliverance from sin (9)
I believe the answer is:
salvation
'deliverance from sin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for salvation that I've seen before include "sanctuary" , "Deliverance (from sin)" , "Deliverance from evil" , "Christian body noted for social work and bands" , "Redemption" .)
