>>There are lots of “words not in the Bible” including the word “Bible”<<

The word "Bible" comes from the Greek word "biblos" and it is used ten times in the New Testament.

Yet, nobody translated the word into Bible in English. It means a scroll or book. The Bible as we understand the word is a collection of 73 books in the Catholic Canon, 66 in the Protestant. THus, the Bible is really, using the Catholic canon, 73 books [biblios].

So literally, the word Bible is in fact not in the Bible it is a word derived from some other word that came into English.
