We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that he may be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

I do not mean that we rule over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because by faith you stand firm.

So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives?

– whose appearing the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time.
