It depends on what you mean by death. This is the way my scripture professor explained it; the meaning of death is separation from God not cessation of biological functions. That’s why Adam and Eve died when they ate from the tree even though they weren’t physically dead. That’s why those who believe in Christ never die no matter how their earthly existance ends.
I knew that was coming...”there was physical death, just not spiritual death.”
The Corinthians verse is clearly referring to physical death.
