The word Bible comes from a Greek word that means book. The word Scripture is from a word (Greek: graphai) that means writing. The word testament is derived from a Latin word (testamentum) that refers to a will or covenant. In the KJV, the words “old testament” occur only in that which Paul said (2 Cor. 3:14), while the words “new testament” was used by Jesus 3 times (Mt. 26:28, Mk. 14:24, Lk. 22:20), by Paul twice (1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6) and in Hebrews once (9:15). The word testament is used six additional times in Hebrews and Revelation. The English word in the KJV is a translation of the Greek (diatheke), meaning dispensation, full arrangement (AMG’s Encyclopedia of Bible Facts, Young’s Analytical Concordance, Vines). RT
Would be interesting to see how other Bible versions look translating these words.
