Marsha Trimble Dunstan Interpretation:
change from old spiritual ways to new spiritual ways [often is wonderful] (see John 3:3-7); their name is not written in the Book of Life (see Revelation 20:11-15); dying to an “old way of life” (see John 3:3, 7; Colossians 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23); without action (see Romans 4:18-20); spiritually dead (see Psalm 88:5; Ephesians 2:1-5; Colossians 2:1213; 1 Timothy 5:6; 1 Peter 4:6; 1 John 3:14; Revelation 3:1); physically dead (see Genesis 44:20; Exodus 4:19).
