1Ti 5:6 - But the widow who lives only for pleasure is spiritually dead even while she lives.

Those verses are from the NLT. “spiritually dead” is not found anywhere in the Greek.
I highly recommend the original Greek. Just so we get it right, you know.

I’m sure you wouldn’t want to pass along ideas the Bible doesn’t teach. I don’t either, so let’s get rid of the “spiritually dead” idea. Otherwise it just seems like you’re making things up.
 
Mat 5:11 -
“Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God's goodness]are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil things against you because of [your association with] Me.

Luk 6:22 - “Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God's goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of [your association with] the Son of Man.

Eph 2:5 - even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God's judgment).

Eph 2:1 -
And you [He made alive when you] were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins,

Again, those verses above are from the AMP version. And again they add their own ideas into the text. This ought not be done because it teaches something the Greek does not.

Is the goal to mislead? Of course not, so let’s stick to the Greek and let the Bible speak for itself.
 
The Bible doesn’t teach anything called “spiritual death”.
Just saying.

Ezekiel 36:26


Also this mentions spiritual death in the Greek Strong's Concordance: https://biblehub.com/greek/2288.htm

not posting this to contradict you. You are correct- spiritual death is not posted vernacular in the Bible. Much like the "Rapture" but many have held to this as a doctrine of the Bible for ages. Hope this clears that up. God bless you!

Body + Breath of life = Living soul

Take the breath, the body dies = dead soul

Kill the body but can’t kill the breath of life. God can restore the breath.
Only God can kill the body and take the breath and never restore it.
