The word "Hades" appears in Jesus' promise to Peter: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." and in the warning to Capernaum: "And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades." Early Christian views ĭeath and Hades are repeatedly associated in the Book of Revelation. The one exception is Luke's parable of Lazarus and the rich man, in which the rich man finds himself, after death, in Hades, and "in anguish in this flame", while in contrast the angels take Lazarus to "the bosom of Abraham", described as a state of comfort. In all appearances but one, ᾅδης has little if any relation to afterlife rewards or punishments. Modern translations, for which there are only 10 instances of the word ᾅδης in the New Testament, generally transliterate it as "Hades". Except in this verse of 1 Corinthians, where it uses "grave", the King James Version translates ᾅδης as "hell". In the Textus Receptus version of the New Testament the word ᾅδης (Hades), appears 11 times but critical editions of the text of 1 Corinthians 15:55 have θάνατος (death) in place of ᾅδης. The Hebrew phrase לא־תעזב נפשׁי לשׁאול ("you will not abandon my soul to Sheol") in Psalm 16:10 is quoted in the Koine Greek New Testament, Acts 2:27 as οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψεις τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰς ᾅδου ("you will not abandon my soul to Hades").
