Nekrosis denotes a condition of death or deadness, applied to Jesus’ death carried in the body and to bodily deadness.

The attested usage describes death or a condition of bodily deadness: 2 Corinthians 4:10 places it in the body in connection with Jesus, while Romans 4:19 applies it to Sarah’s womb.

   In 2 Corinthians 4:10, the accusative singular form occurs in the clause about carrying Jesus’ death in the body; the APB renders the verse, "Always carrying about in the body the death of Jesus." In Romans 4:19, the same form occurs as Abraham considers the condition of Sarah’s womb; the APB renders it as "the deadness of Sarah's womb."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two clauses with "the death of Jesus" in 2 Corinthians 4:10 and "the deadness of Sarah's womb" in Romans 4:19. These renderings show the verses’ presentation rather than establishing separate lexical senses.
