  deadness: Or “barrenness.” The Greek word neʹkro·sis is related to the verb ne·kroʹo, which is used earlier in the sentence and rendered as good as dead. Sarah (Sarai) was barren, but then her reproductive powers were miraculously revived after she was past the age of childbearing. (Ge 11:30; 18:11) Paul also described Abraham as a man “who was as good as dead.” (Heb 11:11, 12) So in a sense, both Abraham and Sarah experienced something comparable to a resurrection when their reproductive powers were restored and they were given the ability to have a child.—Ge 18:9-11; 21:1, 2, 12; Ro 4:20, 21.
