None of those passages deal with soul sleep, so why are you trying to connect them with soul sleep? For example Peter speaks of his "decease" (death) and refers to his body as his "tabernacle" (tent). Which implies that the soul and spirit are resident in the body during life and leave the body after death. But they DO NOT SLEEP in the grave or anywhere else. Ever since the resurrection of Christ all the saints go directly to be with Christ in Heaven, which is very much alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: "What does the Bible say about soul sleep?" Answer: “Soul sleep” is a belief that after a person dies, his/her soul “sleeps” until the resurrection and final judgment. The concept of “soul sleep” is not biblical. When the Bible describes a person “sleeping” in relation to death (Luke 8:52; 1 Corinthians 15:6), it does not mean literal sleep. Sleeping is just a way to describe death because a dead body appears to be asleep. The moment we die, we face the judgment of God (Hebrews 9:27). For believers, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). For unbelievers, death means everlasting punishment in hell (Luke 16:22-23). Until the final resurrection, though, there is a temporary heaven—paradise (Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 12:4) and a temporary hell—Hades (Revelation 1:18; 20:13-14). As can be clearly seen in Luke 16:19-31, neither in paradise nor in Hades are people sleeping. It could be said, though, that a person’s body is “sleeping” while his soul is in paradise or Hades. At the resurrection, this body is “awakened” and transformed into the everlasting body a person will possess for eternity, whether in heaven or hell. Those who were in paradise will be sent to the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1). Those who were in Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). These are the final, eternal destinations of all people—based entirely on whether or not a person trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation. Present-day defenders of soul sleep include the Seventh Day Adventist church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christadelphians, and others. https://www.gotquestions.org/soul-sleep.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant explain soul sleep from those passages because it isn't real. I'd like to ask you why do u keep bringing this up? We have already answered you from the bible, that there is no soul sleep and that all believers who die go to be with the Lord. you are speaking from the JW and Adventist position that there is no body-soul-spirit to God's creation. The body alone sleeps. The lifebreath (soul) and spirit go to be with God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
