Marsha Trimble Dunstan Interpretation:
dealing with character issues they may be “dying” to (func); relationship with them is dying (func); end to their old way of living (see Mark 9:21; 1 Peter 2:24; Revelation 21:8); they are becoming “dead” to evil (see Mark 9:21); change in their spiritual life (see Mark 9:21; 2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Peter 2:24; Revelation 21:8); spiritually not of the Lord (see Proverbs 16:25).
