What exactly is the difference between body and soul in this first sentence?
In other words, if someone kills the body what exactly is it that is left, the Jesus calls the soul?

If the body is killed, you will rise again. But if God destroys both body and soul in the lake of fire, there is no coming back.
Man can only kill the body, but cannot deprive anyone of eternal life. God however can kill permanently, for ever.
Interestingly, God is said to destroy BOTH body and soul in hell. Thus, the truth of a physical resurrection as well as the truth that nobody is destroyed in hell until judgment day are established.
The body is the physical body, the soul is the life, the person, the whole human entity. The person (soul) will live again no matter what man does to the body. But no soul will live if God destroys the person in the second death.
