How many times does the word imagination appear in the Bible?

Answer 1

It depends on which version you are using. "Imagination" appears 14 times in the King James version; Once in the Living version.

To compare those two version, i.e., why the numbers are different:

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. Luke 1:51 (KJV)

"How powerful is his mighty arm! How he scatters the proud and haughty ones!

Luke 1:51 (Living)

Don't let anyone declare you lost when you refuse to worship angels, as they say you must. They have seen a vision, they say, and know you should. These proud men (though they claim to be so humble) have a very clever imagination.

Col 2:18 (Living)

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, Col 2:18 (KJV)
