ἀπεθάνετε
apothnḗskō
you died
To die, to undergo death, to come to an end of physical life. Also, to perish, be put to death, or undergo figurative forms of 'dying' such as loss or destruction. In some contexts, refers not only to the literal cessation of biological life but also to perishing in a broader existential, spiritual, or ethical sense (e.g., being lost, ruined, or excluded from a group). Its primary meaning is always rooted in the event or process of death, but context may extend the sense to loss of status, relationship, or spiritual condition.

SIBI-P1 Translation G599-03
you died off
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active indicative, 2nd person plural — completed action performed by "you (plural)." |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, second person plural, denotes a completed act: "you died." The prefix ἀπό intensifies or completes the action, so "died off" preserves the root sense of dying away or undergoing death in a decisive sense. |
