the usual word for "to kill," is so translated in the Rv wherever possible (e.g., for Av, "to slay," in  Luke 11:49;  Acts 7:52;  Revelation 2:13;  9:15;  11:13;  19:21 ); in the following the verb "to kill" would not be appropriate,  Romans 7:11 , "slew," metaphorically of sin, as using the commandment;  Ephesians 2:16 , "having slain," said metaphorically of the enmity between Jew and Gentile.
