Infidel
INFIDEL.This word has more force now than formerly. In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] it signifies no more than unbeliever. It occurs in 2Co 6:15, 1Ti 5:8 (RV [Note: Revised Version.] unbeliever in both). So infidelity in 2Es 7:44 is simply unbelief (Lat. incredulitas).

Infidel
infi-del (, apistos, unbelieving, incredulous): the King James Version has this word twice: What part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (2Co 6:15); If any provide not for his own,… is worse than an infidel (1Ti 5:8). In both passages the English Revised Version and the American Standard Revised Version have unbeliever in harmony with numerous other instances of the use of the Greek apistos. The word nowhere corresponds to the modern conception of an infidel, one who denies the existence of God, or repudiates the Christian faith; but always signifies one who has not become a believer in Christ. It was formerly so used in English, and some of the older versions have it in other passages, besides these two. It is not found in the Old Testament, but infidelity (incredulity) occurs in 2 Esdras 7:44 (114).

Infidel
The Greek word is , ‘not believing,’ and hence an ‘unbeliever.’ 2Co 6:15; 1Ti 5:8. The word is translated ‘unbeliever’ in Luk 12:46; 1Co 6:6; 1Co 14:23; 2Co 6:14; and ‘unbelieving’ in 1Co 7:14-15; Tit 1:15; Rev 21:8. Thus the scriptural use of the term does not imply the denial of the truth of Christianity, as it is now commonly understood.
