The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “dead”
What it means
dead (literally or figuratively; also as noun)
from an apparently primary (a corpse);
How the KJV renders it
dead
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
Questions this word decides
- Is baptism required for salvation?
- Will there be a literal thousand-year reign (the millennium)?
- Is the Trinity explicitly taught in the Bible?
- Is purgatory taught in scripture?
- Who wrote the letter to the Hebrews?
- What does John 1:1 mean ('the Word was God')?
