7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.(A) 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(B) 9 Christ died and came to life(C) for this: that He might rule over both the dead and the living.(D)
