Soul

The word means various things in the Bible, depending on the context. Sometimes it means a living, breathing person (like in the phrase SOS, ‘save our souls'). At other times, it appears to describe the non-physical part of humans that is understood to survive death. There is some overlap in the Bible between the words for soul and spirit. Some Christians think that soul and spirit are the same thing; others think that they are different.
