4:8
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed, perplexed, but not despair, persecuted, but not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed. The spiritually dead have free will also. When seed is planted in mind of spiritually dead, Jesus might germinate that seed. Or is spiritually dead person will remain with Spirit of slumber. It's Jesus decision if they have Spirit of slumber or granted Spirit of truth.
