We Are The Lord’s – A Prose Poem by the Apostle Paul

For none of us lives to himself,

And none of us dies to himself.

If we live,

We live to the Lord.

If we die,

We die to the Lord.

Whether we live,

Or whether we die,

We are the Lord’s.

For to this end Christ died and lived again,

That he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Paraphrase Romans 14:7-9
