[a]For none of us liveth to [b]himself, neither doth any die to himself.

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lords.

For Christ therefore died and rose again, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and the quick.

Footnotes

  1. Romans 14:7 We must not stick, saith he, in the meat itself, but in the use of the meat, so that he is justly to be reprehended that liveth so, that he casteth not his eyes upon God. For both our life and our death is dedicated to him, and for this cause Christ hath properly died, and not simply, that we might eat this meat or that.
  2. Romans 14:7 Hath respect to himself only, which the Hebrews utter after this sort, Doeth well to his own soul.
