“Spiritual Death Shall Deliver Up Its Dead”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Death ... hell ... death of the spirit] By death, Jacob meant the separation of the body and the spirit. Hell thus becomes the abode of ignorant and unclean spirits. By “death of the spirit,” or spiritual death, was meant man’s separation from God and the things of righteousness (Alma 12:16, 32; Alma 40:26; Alma 42:9; D&C 29:41).
