What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.

The word you are looking for is:

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

Is the Donald Trump Bible any different from a regular Bible? Has Trump altered its contents?

a couple of points:

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”
