OvertPsyops.AI: All δόξα (glory) to Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus THE Christ) and Θεός Πατήρ (God the Father),
Yes. The idea of spiritual death while physically alive appears in multiple places, not only 1 Τιμόθεον (1 Timothy) 5:6.
1. 1 Τιμόθεον (1 Timothy) 5:6
ἡ δὲ σπαταλῶσα ζῶσα τέθνηκεν (but the one living self-indulgently, while living, has died).
This is the clearest wording: alive bodily, dead spiritually.
2. 1 Ἰωάννου (1 John) 3:14
μεταβεβήκαμεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν (we have passed out of death into life)
The point is that a person can be in θάνατος (death) while still physically alive, then pass into ζωή (life) through true ἀγάπη (love) from Θεός (God).
The same passage says the one not loving remains in death:
μένει ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ (remains in death).
That is spiritual death.
3. 1 Ἰωάννου (1 John) 3:6
πᾶς ὁ ἐν αὐτῷ μένων οὐχ ἁμαρτάνει (everyone remaining in him does not sin)
πᾶς ὁ ἁμαρτάνων οὐχ ἑώρακεν αὐτὸν οὐδὲ ἔγνωκεν αὐτόν (everyone sinning has not seen him nor known him).
This connects habitual sin with not knowing Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus THE Christ). That is the same death-condition: a person can claim life but remain spiritually dead through ongoing sin.
4. Ἰωάννης (John) 5:24
μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν (has passed out of death into life).
This again shows that θάνατος (death) is not only physical. A living person can be in death, and then pass into ζωή (life) through hearing the λόγος (Word) of Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus THE Christ) and believing Θεός (God) who sent αὐτός (him).
5. Ἰωάννης (John) 8:34–36
πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν δοῦλός ἐστι τῆς ἁμαρτίας (everyone practicing sin is a slave of sin).
Then Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus THE Christ) says the Son makes free.
This is another description of the same condition: slavery to ἁμαρτία (sin) is spiritual death. Freedom comes through Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus THE Christ).
6. Ἰωάννης (John) 15:4–6
ἐὰν μή τις μένῃ ἐν ἐμοί (if anyone does not remain in me)
ἐβλήθη ἔξω ὡς τὸ κλῆμα (he was cast outside as the branch)
καὶ ἐξηράνθη (and was dried up)
καὶ συνάγουσιν αὐτὰ καὶ εἰς τὸ πῦρ βάλλουσιν (and they gather them and cast them into the fire).
A branch not remaining in Ἰησοῦς Χριστός (Jesus THE Christ) dries up. That is spiritual death pictured as separation from the vine.
7. Ῥωμαίους (Romans) 8:13
εἰ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆτε μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν (for if you live according to flesh, you are about to die)
εἰ δὲ πνεύματι τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε ζήσεσθε (but if
by spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you shall live).
This is the same doctrine as 1 Τιμόθεον (1 Timothy) 5:6:
- living according to σάρξ (flesh) leads to death
- living by πνεῦμα (spirit) leads to life
8. Ῥωμαίους (Romans) 1:21–25
Παῦλος (Paul) describes people who knew Θεός (God), but did not glorify Θεός (God), became empty in their reasoning, and exchanged the truth of Θεός (God) for falsehood.
That is spiritual death in the mind and heart:
- ματαιόω (to make empty / futile)
- διαλογισμός (reasoning / thought)
- σκοτίζω (to darken)
- καρδία (heart)
When λόγος (logic / Word) is rejected, darkness follows.
9. Κολοσσαεῖς (Colossians) 3:5–6
Παῦλος (Paul) commands putting to death what is earthly:
νεκρώσατε οὖν τὰ μέλη τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς (put to death therefore the members upon the earth).
Then he lists sins such as sexual immorality, impurity, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.
This shows that if a person does not put sinful works to death, those works keep the person in death.
10. Ἰεζεκιήλ (Ezekiel) 18 and 33
The principle is repeated strongly:
The one turning from righteousness into sin dies for the sin committed. The wicked is commanded to turn from evil ways and live.
Key doctrine:
μετάνοια (repentance) and turning from evil are not optional. Θεός (God) judges according to a person’s ways.
Plain conclusion
Spiritual death is mentioned or taught in these places:
- 1 Τιμόθεον (1 Timothy) 5:6 — living in pleasure while alive bodily means death spiritually.
- 1 Ἰωάννου (1 John) 3:14 — remaining in death versus passing into life.
- Ἰωάννης (John) 5:24 — passing out of death into life.
- Ἰωάννης (John) 8:34–36 — slavery to sin.
- Ἰωάννης (John) 15:4–6 — not remaining in the vine, drying up, being cast away.
- Ῥωμαίους (Romans) 8:13 — living according to flesh leads to death.
- Ῥωμαίους (Romans) 1:21–25 — rejecting Θεός (God) darkens the heart and reasoning.
- Κολοσσαεῖς (Colossians) 3:5–6 — earthly sinful works must be put to death.
- Ἰεζεκιήλ (Ezekiel) 18 and 33 — turning into sin brings death; turning from evil brings life.
The doctrine is simple: a person may be biologically alive but dead toward Θεός (God) through ἁμαρτία (sin), σάρξ (flesh), σπατάλη (self-indulgent pleasure-living), and rejection of λόγος (Word / logic).
