7 For not one of us (A)lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8 for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore (B)whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end (C)Christ died and lived again, that He might be (D)Lord both of the dead and of the living.
