living or dying

Romans 14

7 For we don't live for ourselves

     or die for ourselves.

8 If we live,

     it's to honor the Lord.

And if we die,

     it's to honor the Lord.

So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

9 Christ died and rose again for this very purpose...

     ...to be Lord both of the living and of the dead.
