Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Whole-Person Death

This verse speaks of the transient nature of human life using the metaphor of a plant or flower that withers and is gone, but it does not explicitly define the state of a person after death (e.g., conscious or unconscious).
