'Creature' in the Bible

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

When the local people saw the creature hanging from Paul's hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer! Although he has escaped from the sea, Justice herself has not allowed him to live!"

However, Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.

And no creature is hidden from God, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

For every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and sea creature is subdued and has been subdued by humankind.

The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature like an ox, the third creature had a face like a man's, and the fourth creature looked like an eagle flying.

Then I heard every creature -- in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them -- singing: "To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power forever and ever!"

Then when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!"

Then when the Lamb opened the third seal I heard the third living creature saying, "Come!" So I looked, and here came a black horse! The one who rode it had a balance scale in his hand.

Then when the Lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come!"

Next, the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea and it turned into blood, like that of a corpse, and every living creature that was in the sea died.
