AI Summary
To live, to be alive, in the ordinary physical sense 1234 — used of a person coming back to life, and set in contrast to being dead 1.
Also used, as other Greek writers used the related verb βιόω, for to live one's life, to conduct oneself in a certain manner — living in faith, in sin, devoutly, or self-indulgently, and the like 13.
Beyond mere existence, the word can carry a fuller, spiritual sense of truly living — the vital life that comes from God or is found in Christ, spoken of as eternal life 13. It is also applied metaphorically to things, calling them "living" when they are full of vigor, as with spring water, a living hope, or a living way 13.
In the Greek Old Testament the verb is also used causatively, meaning to make alive, to quicken 3.
