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.

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?
