KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionFrom the Latin sanctus, meaning holy. In the KJV it does not refer exclusively to officially canonized figures but to all believers — those set apart by God through faith in Christ. Paul's letters are regularly addressed to "the saints" of a particular city, meaning the Christian community there.
Key Verses"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 1:1); "All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household." (Philippians 4:22)
