“Godhead”This word is only used 3x’s in the KJV translation.

The three Greek words used for that one English translated word “Godhead” are:

1. Theios – pronounced thi'-os

2. Theiotes – pronounced thi-ot'-ace

3. Theotes – pronounced theh-ot'-ace

“Godhead”Act 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

“Divine”

A. Adjective.

Theios (G2304) - pronounced thi'-os; comes from theos “God” pronounced theh'-os,

“Godhead”2Pe 1:3,4 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

• is used of the power of God, 2Pe 1:3,• and of His nature, 2Pe 1:4

In each place, as that which proceeds from Himself.

“Godhead”Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

“Divinity”

Theiotes (G2305), - pronounced thi-ot'-ace; comes from theios “divine" pronounced thi'-os,)

Must be distinguished from the 3rd Greek word: Theotes used in
