In reply to Evie Polsley. I think the English transliteration is pretty intuitive. In this instance, we could have spelled it out as koi-ma-oh. The line over the ō means that the underlying Greek letter is the omega, and it has a long "oh" sound.

Why do you think “sleep” is used euphemistically this way? Is it because it is meant to convey that death (like sleep) is actually a temporary state? We tend to think of death as permanent but all will be raised on the last day.

Excellent stuff! I’ve returned to the NLT since it was updated, and am really seeing its value. Whether one reads it as one’s sole Bible, or as an adjunct to a more literal version, like NASB or Legacy, the NLT is an excellent resource for those of us who want to really understand the Scriptures.

Thanks! Very interesting and informative for a person who has not done any biblical studies. Puts life and meaning into the word of God.
