    Comments: In some figurative expressions ζάω[a] and ζωή may involve serious complications in reference. For example, in {S:04300605100038} the expression ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ζῶν ‘I am the living bread’ may be understood in some languages as bread which has some living objects in it, namely, bread which is being eaten by worms or weevils. It may therefore be necessary to say ‘I am that bread which gives life.’{N:001}|In a number of languages there is no noun-like word for ‘life.’ It may therefore be necessary to change all passages which speak of ‘life’ into a corresponding expression using a verb-like form meaning ‘to live.’

    DefinitionShort: to come back to life after having once died
    Glosses: ['to come back to life', 'to live again', 'to be resurrected', 'resurrection']
    Comments: In a number of languages there is a difficulty involved in formulating some expression for ‘resurrection’ or ‘living again,’ since such a phrase may refer to what is technically known as metempsychosis, that is to say, the rebirth of the soul in another existence, a belief which is widely held in a number of areas of south Asia. This problem may be avoided in some languages by speaking of ‘his body will live again’ or ‘his body will come back to life’ or ‘he will be the same person when he lives again.’

    Glosses: ['to live', 'to conduct oneself', 'to behave']
    Comments: In {S:05500301200014} ζάω does not refer to physiological existence, but rather to the manner in which a person behaves or conducts himself in relationship to other persons and to God.
