Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Apart from the spirit (xwriv pneumatov). "Apart from breath" (the breath of life). It is not easy to tell when one is dead, but the absence of a sign of breath on a glass before the mouth and nose is proof of death. Startling picture of dead faith in our churches and church members with only a name to live (Revelation 3:2).
