Go Further -- The Person Who Gains Souls Is Wise
Resources
Nephesh is the Old Testament word commonly translated as "soul." It means a life, a living being. The word refers to the essence of life, the act of breathing. "Soul" may be an unfortunate translation of the word. Unlike the English word "soul" which usually describes only the inner person and is contrasted with the outer person, nephesh describes the total person as a living whole. Hebraic thought understands nephesh as the totality of the human being including the spirit, the mind and emotions, and the body.
The Person Who Gains Souls Is Wise -- scripture for meditation, prayer, and proclamation
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And one who is wise gains souls. Proverbs 11:30 NASB
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 NASB
