68.40 · Aspect · Cease, Stop
to cease, to stop (a figurative extension of meaning of ἀπογίνομαι ‘to die,’ not occurring in the NT) to cease, with a complete and abrupt change It is possible that in the translation of this phrase in 1PE 2:24 one might wish to preserve the figurative form and translate as ‘dying to sin.’ For another interpretation of ἀπογίνομαι in 1PE 2:24, see 74.27.
74.27 · Able, Capable
to be dead to, to not respond to, to have no part in (a figurative extension of meaning of ἀπογίνομαι ‘to die,’ not occurring in the NT) to be unable to respond or react to any impulse or desire In a number of languages it is extremely difficult to speak of ‘dying to sin.’ In some instances one can preserve the figurative meaning by an expression such as ‘to be like dead as far as desiring to sin’ or ‘to be like a corpse as far as temptations to sin are concerned.’
For another interpretation of ἀπογίνομαι in 1PE 2:24, see 68.40.
