Romans14:8

Previous Verse

Translation

If we should live, we live to the Lord; if we should die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, if we live or if we die, we are the Lord’s.

Paraphrase

If we are allowed to live, we will live to honor the Lord; if we die sooner than expected, we will die to honor the Lord. Therefore the outcome is the same; if we live or if we die, we belong to the Lord because we seek His honor regardless of what happens.
