G5590 — ψυχή

ψυχῆς, ἡ (ψύχω, to breathe, blow), from Homer down, the Sept. times too many to count for נֶפֶשׁ, occasionally also for לֵב and לֵבָב;

1. breath (Latinanima), i. e.

a. the breath of life; the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing: Act 20:10; of animals, Rev 8:9 (Gen 9:4; Gen 35:18; ἐπιστραφήτω ψυχή τοῦ παιδαρίου, 1Ki 17:21); so also in those passages where, in accordance with the trichotomy or threefold division of human nature by the Greeks, ἡ ψυχή; is distinguished from τό πνεῦμα (see πνευαμ, 2, p. 520a (and references under the word πνεῦμα 5)), 1Th 5:23; Heb 4:12.

b. life: μέριμναν τῇ ψυχή, Mat 6:25; Luk 12:22; τήν ψυχήν ἀγαπᾶν, Rev 12:11; (μισεῖν, Luk 14:26); τιθέναι, Joh 10:11, Joh 10:15, Joh 10:17; Joh 13:37; Joh 15:13; 1Jo 3:16; παραδιδόναι, Act 15:26; διδόναι (λύτρον, which see), Mat 20:28; Mar 10:45; ζητεῖν τήν ψυχήν τίνος (see ζητέω, 1 a.), Mat 2:20; Rom 11:3; add, Mat 6:25; Mar 3:4; Luk 6:9; Luk 12:20, Luk 12:23; Act 20:24; Act 27:10, Act 27:22; Rom 16:4; 2Co 1:23; Phi 2:30; 1Th 2:8; in the pointed aphorisms of Christ, intended to fix themselves in the minds of his hearers, the phrases εὑρίσκειν, σῴζειν, ἀπολλύναι τήν ψυχήν αὐτοῦ, etc., designate as ψυχή in one of the antithetic members the life which is lived on earth, in the other, the (blessed) life in the eternal kingdom of God: Mat 10:39; Mat 16:25; Mar 8:35-37; Luk 9:24, Luk 9:56 Rec.; ; Joh 12:25; the life destined to enjoy the Messianic salvation is meant also in the following phrases ((where R. V. soul)): περιποίησις ψυχῆς, Heb 10:39; κτᾶσθαι τάς ψυχάς, Luk 21:19; ὑπέρ τῶν ψυχῶν (here A. V. (not R. V.) for you; cf.

c. below), 2Co 12:15.

c. that in which there is life; a living being: ψυχή ζῶσα, a living soul, 1Co 15:45; (Rev 16:3 R Tr marginal reading) (Gen 2:7; plural ); πᾶσα ψυχή ζωῆς, Rev 16:3 (G L T Tr text WH) (Lev 11:10); πᾶσα ψυχή, every soul, i. e. everyone, Act 2:43; Act 3:23; Rom 13:1 (so כָּל־נֶפֶשׁ, Lev 7:17 (27); ); with ἀνθρώπου added, every soul of man (אָדָם נֶפֶשׁ, Num 31:40, Num 31:46 (cf. 1 Macc. 2:38)), Rom 2:9. ψυχαί, souls (like the Latincapita) i. e. persons (in enumerations; cf. German Seelenzahl): Act 2:41; Act 7:14; Act 27:37; 1Pe 3:20 (Gen 46:15, Gen 46:18, Gen 46:22, Gen 46:26, Gen 46:27; Exo 1:5; Exo 12:4; Lev 2:1; Num 19:11, Num 19:13, Num 19:18; (Deu 10:22); the examples from Greek authors (cf. Passow, under the word, 2, vol. ii, p. 2590b) are of a different sort (yet cf. Liddell and Scott, under the word, II. 2)); ψυχαί ἀνθρώπων of slaves (A. V. souls of men (R. V. with marginal reading 'Or lives')), Rev 18:13 (so (Num 31:35); Eze 27:13; see σῶμα, 1 c. (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 22, 7 N. 3)).
