Therefore, in order to clearly understand the matter of the soul, we need to study it, focusing on the words of [[Christ]] the Owner of the souls. | Likewise, in the Old Testament, the world of the dead is vaguely expressed with words such as the grave, but in the [[The New Testament|New Testament]] the world after death is expressed clearly.
