Therein is a problem (Not saying you are incorrect yet)--what does the original Greek/Hebrew say, and how are those words translated into English?
English can be a very limited language. Rely on the meanings from the original. Even if you have to write a paragraph where they used one word.

Glad you asked that. :-)
When dealing with “challenging” scripture, I go here: http://www.blueletterbible.org/index.cfm
When you search on a book and chapter(you can search chapters, then scroll down to the verse you are looking for), you will notice six cubes to the left of each verse. The “C” cube is a concordance and Greek/Hebrew lexicon (depending on which testament you are in).
There you find out things like the fact that the King James translation of John 14:2 REALLY stretches the meaning of the original Greek to use the word “mansions”.
Enjoy. It’s helped me a LOT over the years.
