The Difference Between logos and hrēma
logos (G3056) means "account" and hrēma (G4487) means "+ evil" — both Greek words in the Bible, but they carry distinct meanings. Knowing which word the original author chose, and where each appears, reveals the precise shade of meaning that can get lost in translation.
