I'm not a very good language person.
There are resources that are available for people like me. I use both the NT and OT versions on The New International Dictionaries of Theology.

It's not based on the NIV Bible

FYI, the translators of the NIV Bible were very good language persons,
like those who worked on the NIDT, NEB, KJV, NAS and numerous other translations.
Put 'em in the tank and they all will get you where you need to go.

Yet the apostles said to the jailer at Philippi:

NKJV Acts 16:31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved."

They weren't giving the jailer false hope, or false security, were they?
Saving flesh or saving souls? Believe English is not absolute they .I've been waiting on someone the post that scripture .I'm pretty sure they said whole house sozo
 
So if you want to emphasize that Greek πιστεύω is a verb expressing the act of believing/trusting, “faithing” can make that point pedagogically:



πιστεύουσιν is not “faith” as a static noun; it is an active verbal form. And because it is present active participle, “those believing,” “the believing ones,” or, for emphasis, “the ones actively exercising faith” conveys the morphology better than simply saying “believers.”

Jhn 1:12 - But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe G4100 on his name:

that believe
g4100
πιστεύουσιν πιστεύω

pisteuō
πιστεύουσιν — 15x G4100 πιστεύω

The oldest word I like is Aman..very few know it depth meaning and funny how in a conversation they won't recognize the word at all thinking it was amen but that is me in spirit speaking that how I deal with Carmel mind people instead of falling into their fancy Words tricks

trust ,To know iis more Solid than Believe in this day age .people believe their own lies & Don't know they Lie

Yes it does say whole house, meaning the jailer's household. A later verse says:

NKJV Act 16:34 Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.

As to whether it was their flesh or their souls that were saved, we are also told:

NKJV Act 16:32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

The word of the Lord is not about merely saving bodies.

Not sure what "sozo" means. A typo for "also" perhaps?

No knowledge of ancient languages is necessary to read and believe the Bible.

God's power has His original words translated into every language on earth.

Knowledge of ancient languages is of inestimable value in rightly exegeting the Bible.

Frankly, without it you will invariably become ensnared into misapprehensions, errors and even worse...... heresies.

I credit teachers who introduced me to deep-dive lexical studies for my rapid advancement in the last decade. Before which I was stuck in the listless horse latitudes going.... nowhere.
