We Do Not Die Daily - WE DIED ONCE

[Joelel]

He died daily in tribulation fighting with beasts (evil men) in Ephesus.

I Cor 15:30-32 "And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

Exactly. Physical threats to his physical life. He counted each day as his last due to expectation to physically die. So he phrased it a daily dying. he was not speaking spiritually here at all.
