What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
Life – the breath of life, the vital principle that animates a body, as distinct from the body itself; used of risking, losing, saving, or giving up one's life 1234.
Soul – the inner self regarded as the seat of the will, desires, feelings and affections – what a person feels, wants, and loves with 134. This sentient, animal principle is distinguished from the rational, immortal spirit on one side and from mere vitality (shared even by plants) on the other 2. In this sense the word is also used of the soul as the object of God's care and saving grace 1.
Person, self – used as a stand-in for a person or individual, so that "a soul" can simply mean "a person," as in phrases counting or referring to people ("every soul") 134.
