Comments: It is also possible to render ψυχή in {S:05000102700052} as ‘purpose’ or ‘desire,’ for ψυχή focuses upon the total psychological being involved in struggling for the faith.|ψυχή[a] is often glossed as ‘heart’ or ‘desire.’ Compare the following: περίλυπός ἐστιν ἡ ψυχή μου ἕως θανάτου ‘my heart is sorrowful even to the point of death’ {S:04002603800014}; ἵνα μὴ κάμητε ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν ἐκλυόμενοι ‘so do not let your hearts become discouraged and give up’ {S:05801200300032} (for ψυχή in the idiom κάμνω τῇ ψυχῇ, see {D:25.291}); ἀλλ ὡς δοῦλοι Χριστοῦ ποιοῦντες τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκ ψυχῆς ‘but with all your heart, do what God wants, as slaves of Christ’ {S:04900600600032}. In these passages, however, ψυχή refers really to the entire being of a person, so that {S:04002603800014} may very well be rendered as ‘my sorrow is so great it almost kills me.’ {S:05801200300032} may also be rendered as ‘so do not let yourselves be discouraged and give up,’ and {S:04900600600032} may be appropriately rendered as ‘but with your whole being, do what God wants, as slaves of Christ.’|The meaning of ψυχή in the sense of the person as an individual is treated under {L:ψυχή

Glosses: life
Comments: In rendering ψυχή in {S:04501100300032} it may be necessary to indicate more precisely the relationship between ‘to seek’ and ‘life,’ for example, ‘they seek to destroy my life’ or ‘they seek to cause me no longer to live.’|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.’

Comments: Though the phrase ψυχὴ ζωῆς is highly generic in meaning, its specific reference in {S:06601600300036} is to creatures of the sea, and therefore in most languages one must translate simply ‘fish’ or ‘that which lives in the sea.’

DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to lay down one’s life) to die, with the implication of voluntary or willing action
Glosses: ['to die voluntarily', 'to die willingly']
Comments: Though in English the phrases ‘to lay down one’s life’ or ‘to give one’s life’ do suggest a voluntary dying, a literal rendering of such expressions in other languages would not necessarily imply the same. It may therefore be necessary to use such expressions as ‘to die willingly’ or ‘to die without resisting.’ In some languages ‘willingly’ is expressed primarily as a negation of objecting, for example, ‘I will not object to dying.’
