In Scripture, “soul” (Heb. nephesh, Gk. psuchē) does not primarily mean kaluluwa but “life” itself—the living person as a whole. It signifies breath, vitality, and existence, encompassing both body and spirit (Genesis 2:7). To lose one’s soul is to lose life with God (Mark 8:36). Thus, the soul is not a ghostly part but the person’s very life, entrusted to God for eternity.
