God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?

For if because of food, your brother is grieved, you are no longer living according to love. Do not destroy by your food that person for whom Christ died.

For to this end Christ has died and lived again, that he might rule over both dead and living.

As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

Since I am speaking to those who understand law, brothers, are you unaware that the law has authority over someone as long as he lives?

For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died.
