The Greek word is ἄπιστος, 'not believing,' and hence an 'unbeliever.' 2 Cor. 6: 15; 1 Tim. 5: 8. The word is translated
'unbeliever' in Luke 12: 46; 1 Cor. 6: 6; 1 Cor. 14: 23; 2 Cor. 6: 14;
and 'unbelieving' in 1 Cor. 7: 14, 15; Titus 1: 15; Rev. 21: 8. Thus the scriptural use of the term does not imply the denial of the truth of Christianity, as it is now commonly understood.
