SOUL — and, just as often, LIFE; one Greek word doing two jobs English keeps separate. Matthew 10 uses it both ways within eleven verses: 'fear the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna' (10:28, the self clearly distinct from the body), then 'whoever finds his psychē will lose it, and whoever loses his psychē for my sake will find it' (10:39, where 'life' is the only sense that makes the paradox work). ⚠ This translation renders it 'soul' in the first case and 'life' in the second, printing the word's genuine double range rather than forcing one English noun to cover both — the ambiguity is in the Greek, not smoothed away by the choice of English. The 10:39 saying itself returns almost word for word at 16:25-26, restructured from find/lose to save/lose but making the identical claim. → first discussed at Matt 10:28
