'Dead' in the Bible

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
