Amen, what translators are looking for is more an interpretation. Meaning that the word in Greek to English they need to know how that Greek word was used in the time of the 1st century. Not how it is understood ecclesiastically through the centuries till now. But how did the Romans and Judeans understand those Greek words. The KJV translators worked towards that understanding the best they could. Not looking for the ecclesiastical meaning but how the word was originally used by the people of the time of the Gospel.
