The KJV renders 5 different Hebrew and Greek words as “book”
What it means
a roll
a diminutive of G976 (βίβλος);
How the KJV renders it
bill, book, scroll, writing
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“scroll”
also renders çêpher (H5612)
Questions this word decides
- Will there be a literal thousand-year reign (the millennium)?
- Is purgatory taught in scripture?
- Should Christians pray to saints?

- Will everyone ultimately be saved?
