    Comments: In a number of languages clear distinctions are made in the use of terms for dying on the basis of the manner or circumstances of death. For example, one term may refer to death primarily as the result of old age, while another term may refer to death caused by sickness, and still other terms may be used for death caused by violence. Careful distinctions must be used in determining the choice of terms based on particular contexts.|In {S:04300605000034} ἀποθνῄσκω must be understood in a spiritual rather than in a strictly literal sense. This bold figurative language is characteristic of the Gospel of John and should not be eliminated, though in some languages a strictly literal translation may be understood only in a literal sense and thus lead to misinterpretation. In some instances, therefore, it may be necessary to suggest the metaphorical significance by translating ‘he will not, as it were, die.’

    DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:ἀποθνῄσκω}[a] ‘to die,’ {D:23.99}) to be unable to respond or react to any impulse or desire
    Glosses: ['to be dead to', 'to not respond to', 'to have no part in']
    Comments: In a number of languages it is extremely difficult to speak of ‘dying to sin.’ In some instances one can preserve the figurative meaning by an expression such as ‘to be like dead as far as desiring to sin’ or ‘to be like a corpse as far as temptations to sin are concerned.’
