The KJV renders 20 different Hebrew and Greek words as “reward”
What it means
treatment, i.e. an act (of good or ill); by implication, service or requital
from H1580 (גָּמַל);
How the KJV renders it
benefit, desert, deserving, that which he hath given, recompense, reward
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
