\section{Life}
Life 'collectively', interdependent, interconnected. 
Something like "Life" with a capital 'L'.

Although it can mean 'life' in the conventional sense 
(for example: \myxref{Matt}{9}{18}, \myxref{Matt}{27}{63}, \myxref{Luke}{2}{36}, 
\myxref{Acts}{25}{24}, \myxref{Rom}{7}{2}, \myxref{2Cor}{1}{8}, \myxref{1Thes}{4}{17}, 
\myxref{1Tim}{5}{10}, \myxref{Rev}{19}{20}), 
Jesus uses \ZOE{} exclusively of 'life eternal' 
(with the possible exceptions of \myxref{Luke}{15}{13}, \myxref{Luke}{16}{25}). 
The other N.T. writers use \ZOE{} in both senses --- temporal and eternal, 
generally clear from the context. 
The Father is the '\zoe{}-living God' (see \myxref{Matt}{16}{16}). 

The Septuagint (LXX) in Gen.2:7 has ``...[God] breathed into his nostrils 
the breath of \zoe{}-life, 
and the man became a \zoe{}-living psyche-life'' (and see \myxref{1Cor}{15}{45}); 

And in Gen.3:20 (LXX) ``And Adam called his wife's name \ZOE{}, 
because she was the mother of all \zoe{}-living.'' 
The first woman was named \ZOE{} --- Life --- in the Greek scriptures. 
Whether John had this in mind is impossible to say with certainty, 
but given how saturated his Prologue is with LXX Genesis imagery, 
it is perhaps not entirely coincidental.

Contrast PSYCHE: an individual manifestation of life/consciousness. 
See \myxref{John}{12}{25} where both \ZOE{} and PSYCHE occur. 

Greek also has the word BIOS for 'life' in the sense of biological processes.
