# If you died together with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world
A believer is spiritually united with Christ. As Christ died, the believer has died to the elemntal spirits of the world. This is a metaphor for no longer responding to the elemenatry spirits of the world. The believer is no longer controlled by them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# the elemental spirits of the world
See how you translated this in [Colossians 2:8](../02/08.md).
# live as obligated to the world
"think you must obey the desires of the world"
# the world
the thoughts, desires, and assumptions of the sinful majority of the world's people (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
