If you're going to continue posting to B-Greek, please observe BG  
protocol and use the transliteration or Unicode for the Greek rather  
than pasting in a text like this.

Text: οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα ὅτι ὄνομα ἔχεις  
ὅτι ζῇς, καὶ νεκρὸς εἶ.
OIDA SOU TA ERGA, hOTI ONOMA ECEIS hOTI ZHS, KAI NEKROS EI.

This is pretty clearly figurative language.
