  2. Explication du texte

Does the soul and body get destroyed in hell?

Matthieu 10:28 (NEG79)

28 Ne craignez pas ceux qui tuent le corps et qui ne peuvent tuer l'âme; craignez plutôt celui qui peut faire périr l'âme et le corps dans la géhenne.

En bref

No, the Greek word apolesai, here in Matthew 10:28 in the ESV translated as destroy, refers to condemnation rather than destruction. The soul and body are condemned to gehenna (hell), that is, the lake of fire, to which all unbelievers will be condemned to on the last day (Revelation 20:14–15).

No, the Greek word apolesai, here in Matthew 10:28 in the ESV translated as destroy, must be understood in the sense of condemnation rather than destruction. The soul and body are condemned to gehenna (hell), that is, the lake of fire, the very place where all unbelievers will be condemned to on the last day (Revelation 20:14–15).1
