'Died' in the Bible

He Himself bore our sinsin His body on the tree,so that, having died to sins,we might live for righteousness;you have been healed by His wounds.

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

Indeed, this is why the gospel was proclaimed even to those who have died, so that they could be judged in their mortal flesh like all humans and live in the spiritual realm like God.
