'Perishing' in the Bible

Then the Israelites declared to Moses, “Look, we’re perishing! We’re lost; we’re all lost!

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is God’s power to us who are being saved.

For to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.

and with every unrighteous deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth in order to be saved.
