# Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul
|
|
|
|
This is not distinguishing between people who cannot kill the soul and people who can kill the soul. No person can kill the soul. AT: "Do not be afraid of people. They can kill the body, but they cannot kill the soul" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-distinguish]])

# kill the body
|
|
|
|
This means to cause physical death. If these words are awkward, they can be translated as "kill you" or "kill other people."
|
|
|
|
# body
|
|
|
|
the part of a person that can be touched, as opposed to the soul or spirit
|
|
|
|
# kill the soul
|
|
|
|
This means to harm people after they have physically died.
|
|
|
|
# soul
|
|
|
|
the part of a person that cannot be touched and that lives on after the physical body dies
|
|
|
|
# fear him who is able
|
|
|
|
You can add "because" to clarify why people should fear God. AT: "fear God because he is able" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-connectingwords]])
