The ancient Greek word "μᾶλλον" ≈ "rather" as in "rather than". In a comparison, in context, it could be "rather more". The modern Greek word "μάλλον" (MAL-lon) ≈ "rather, more precisely".

The KJV (King James Version), and other translations, translate this word in various ways. The translator decides they know the best way to translate this word. In reality, the translation is influenced by the Latin Vulgate translation.

*G3123 *81 μᾶλλον (mal'-lon) : neuter of the comparative of the same as G3122; (adverbially) more (in a greater degree)) or rather:--+ better, X far, (the) more (and more), (so) much (the more), rather.

Words: μαλλον=81

Note how Strongs adds the more or better when that should be inferred from context and not put into the translation. The "rather" or "instead" could, in context, be less or worse.
