ψυχή

psychḗ · Greek · Strong's G5590 · 102 occurrences

The KJV renders 15 different Hebrew and Greek words as “mind”

What it means

breath, i.e. (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151 (πνεῦμα), which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222 (ζωή), which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew H05315, H07307 and H02416)

from G5594 (ψύχω);

How the KJV renders it

life, mind, soul
