apothnesko denotes dying or having died, chiefly of bodily death, and also of death expressed in relation to the law or the world.

The verb most often marks a person’s death or the process of dying, including deaths reported as completed, anticipated deaths, and death contrasted with life or resurrection. A smaller group of clauses uses death in a stated relation—dying to the law, to the world’s elemental principles, or daily—while still retaining the language of death.

   The verb reports actual death or approaching death: Lazarus has died in John 11:14, Jairus’s daughter was dying in Luke 8:42, and the fathers who ate manna died in John 6:49. It also occurs where death is anticipated or contrasted with continued life, as in John 11:25 and 1 Corinthians 15:22; in 2 Corinthians 5:14 the clause states that one died for all.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly uses “die,” “died,” and “dying,” including statements about Lazarus, ordinary human mortality, and Christ’s death. It also presents the relational clauses with “died to” and the recurring statement “I die every day”; these renderings reflect whole clauses rather than a word-by-word alignment.
