“For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.”
If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. — Zao and apothnēskō are reframed kyrio (to the Lord). Possession (kyriō, to belong to the Lord) transcends the life/death boundary. This recalls 6:9's triumph over death—the Christian's ultimate allegiance supersedes bodily state.
