Repeatedly in the Bible, people are referred to as “souls” (Exodus 31:14; Proverbs 11:30), especially in contexts that focus on the value of human life and personhood or on the concept of a “whole being” (Psalm 16:9-10; Ezekiel 18:4; Acts 2:41; Revelation 18:13).
Paulit ulit na tinutukoy sa Bibliya ang tao bilang mga kaluluwa (Exodo 31:14; Kawikaan 11:30), lalo t higit kung ang konteksto ay ang halaga ng buhay ng tao o ang konsepto ng buong pagkatao (Awit 16:9-10; Ezekiel 18:4; Gawa 2:41; Pahayag 18:13).
