It is used in the New Testament to describe physical death, the cessation of life. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe spiritual death or separation from God due to sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, death was often viewed with a sense of inevitability and fear, as it marked the end of earthly existence. The concept of an afterlife varied among different philosophical and religious groups. In Jewish thought, death was seen as a consequence of sin, stemming from the fall of man in Genesis. The New Testament, however, presents death as a defeated enemy through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, offering hope of eternal life to believers.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2348</b> <i>thnḗskō</i> (the root of <i>thanatos</i>, "death") – <i>to die</i> (spiritually or physically); subject to death.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a prim. root than-<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to die<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dead (7), died (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2348: θνῄσκω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">θνῄσκω</span></span>: perfect <span class="greek2">τέθνηκα</span>, infinitive <span class="greek2">τεθνάναι</span> and <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">τεθνηκέναι</span> (in <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-19.htm">Acts 14:19</a>), participle <span class="greek2">τεθνηκώς</span>; pluperfect 3 person singular <span class="greek2">ἐτεθνήκει</span> (<a href="/interlinear/john/11-21.htm">John 11:21</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>); (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">מוּת</span>; <span class="accented">to die</span>; perfect <span class="accented">to be dead</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/2-20.htm">Matthew 2:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-44.htm">Mark 15:44</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-12.htm">Luke 7:12</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> brackets); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Luke 8:49>; <a href="/interlinear/john/11-21.htm">John 11:21</a>, <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> in <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:John 11:39> and <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:John 11:41,44>; <a href="/interlinear/john/12-1.htm">John 12:1</a> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> omit; <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> brackets); <a href="/interlinear/john/19-33.htm">John 19:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-19.htm">Acts 14:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/25-19.htm">Acts 25:19</a>; metaph, of the loss of spiritual life: <span class="greek2">ζῶσα</span> <span class="greek2">τέθνηκε</span>, i. e. <span class="greek2">κἄν</span> <span class="greek2">δοκῇ</span> <span class="greek2">ζῆν</span> <span class="greek2">ταύτην</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">αἰσθητην</span> <span class="greek2">ζωήν</span>, <span class="greek2">τέθνηκε</span> <span class="greek2">κατά</span> <span class="greek2">πνεῦμα</span> (Theoph.): <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/5-6.htm">1 Timothy 5:6</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Philo</span> de secular § 10 <span class="greek2">ζῶντες</span> <span class="greek2">ἔνιοι</span> <span class="greek2">τεθνήκασι</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">τεθνηκότες</span> <span class="greek2">ζῶσι</span>).
