BACK TO THE BIBLE and TAKING NOTE OF KEY GREEK WORDS USED IN BIBLICAL TEXTS.

záō (list of verses in the New Testament, quoted)

Thayer's Greek Lexicon defines zaō firstly as meaning to live, breathe, be among the living (not lifeless, not dead).

"For IN HIM (God) we live | are alive [zao], and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." (Acts 17:28).

God created human beings to live | to be alive [zao] in created bodies, on the created earth; and He breathed life [ZOE] into Adam in order that Adam could ZAO [live | be alive] forever. 

Genesis 3:22-24 tells us about how the created human beings sinned against God, and began to die, and were prevented thereafter from eating of the tree of life [zoe] and living forever. 

"For this reason Christ died [apothnesko] and rose again from the dead [anistemi], and lived again [anazao: lived again in a body that is not dead], so that he may be the Lord of both the dead [nekros] and living [zao: those who are alive in a body that is not dead]." (Romans 14:9). 

  • Throughout the New Testament, whenever the verses containing the word zao are referring to God, they are referring to the living [zao] God who has eternal life [zoe] in Himself,but
  • Whenever the verses containing the word zao are referring to created humans who are alive | living [zao], they are referring to humans who are alive, regardless of whether or not they have eternal life [zoe],for example,

"Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth [zao]? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth [zao]; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband." (Romans 7:1-2). 

The word zao is never used in reference to a human being who has died. This distinction between zoe (life) and zao (living | to be alive) can be clearly seen in passages such as the following, where the words zoe and zao are both used:

Philippians 1:20-24
"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life [zōḗ], or by death. For to me to live [zao: to be alive in a body that is not dead] is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live [zao: to be alive in the body] in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.  For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:  Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

Whenever the word zao is used in reference to created human beings, in each and every verse it's talking about those who were living | alive / those who are living | alive - never about those who are dead. Each verse is quoted below the list:

|| Matthew 16:16; Matthew 26:63; Matthew 27:63; Mark 5:23; Mark 16:11; Luke 2:36; Luke 4:4; Luke 10:28; Luke 15:13; Luke 20:38; Luke 24:5; Luke 24:23; John 4:10; John 4:11; John 4:50; John 4:51; John 4:53; John 5:25; John 6:51; John 6:57; John 6:58; John 6:69; John 7:38; John 14:19; Acts 1:3; Acts 7:38; Acts 9:41; Acts 10:42; Acts 14:15; Acts 17:28; Acts 20:12; Acts 22:22; Acts 25:19; Acts 25:24; Acts 26:5; Acts 28:4; Romans 1:17; Romans 6:2; Romans 6:10; Romans 6:11; Romans 6:13; Romans 7:1; Romans 7:2; Romans 7:3; Romans 7:9; Romans 8:12; Romans 8:13; Romans 9:26; Romans 10:5; Romans 12:1; Romans 14:7; Romans 14:8; Romans 14:9; Romans 14:11; 1 Corinthians 7:39; 1 Corinthians 9:14; 1 Corinthians 15:45; 2 Corinthians 1:8; 2 Corinthians 3:3; 2 Corinthians 4:11; 2 Corinthians 5:15; 2 Corinthians 6:9; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 2 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 2:14; Galatians 2:19; Galatians 2:20; Galatians 3:11; Galatians 3:12; Galatians 5:25; Philippians 1:21; Philippians 1:22; Colossians 2:20; Colossians 3:7; 1 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 3:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:15; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:10; 1 Timothy 3:15; 1 Timothy 4:10; 1 Timothy 5:6; 1 Timothy 6:17; 2 Timothy 3:12; 2 Timothy 4:1; Titus 2:12; Hebrews 2:15; Hebrews 3:12; Hebrews 4:12; Hebrews 7:8; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 9:17; Hebrews 10:20; Hebrews 10:31; Hebrews 10:38; Hebrews 12:9; Hebrews 12:22; James 4:15; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 Peter 1:23; 1 Peter 2:4; 1 Peter 2:5; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 4:5; 1 Peter 4:6; 1 John 4:9; Revelation 1:18; Revelation 2:8; Revelation 3:1; Revelation 4:9; Revelation 4:10; Revelation 5:14; Revelation 7:2; Revelation 7:17; Revelation 10:6; Revelation 13:14; Revelation 15:7; Revelation 16:3; Revelation 19:20 (cast alive [zao] into the lake of fire). ||

Three times the word zao is talking about those who had died but will live again | be alive again (it's talking about a future time following the resurrection of the body from the dead):


In other words, whenever the New Testament refers to created human beings as zao, it's talking about human beings as being alive in their created bodies.
