Yeah actually it does, it has a few different meaning in the greek. Immerse is just one of them.
WHy did they not just translate baptize immerse then? If that is all it meant. Because it was not all it meant. It can also mean to dye (a baptizer was a dyer in the greek culture) it can mean to place into union with another person (Israel was baptized into moses, who was the head) they were not immersed into moses.
In fact, if the KJV interpretaors would have actually INTERPRETED the word, instead of transliterate, we would not have the confusion about baptism we have today.
You still have refused to answer all the greek verb tense differences, which some can not be translated accurately in a word for word interpretation.

Both!
..."dikaiosune" is the Greek word translated "righteous" and "justified" many times in the in the New Testament and it means "acquitted" ( justified ) to "vindicate," or "to be made righteous." We are justified (acquitted from the punishment of sin) and declared righteous because of God who is in us.
It would behoove you to learn some greek. or at least start studying it,, You would see how much you are missing, and how enslaved you are by this cultish worship of one version over another.
One of the doctrines that did it for me is in the difference of one word in Galatians 2:16, "of" and "in." You can find it in other places as well.
KJV "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
ESV "yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified."
There is a HUGE difference in the two. Being justified by the faith of Christ lets me know that being justified is not about my puny faith which waivers day by day, but in Christ's faith that never waivers.
