## we have died with Christ ## Although Christ died physically, here "died" refers to believers dying spiritually to the power of sin. Alternate translation: "we have spiritually died with Christ" ## We know that Christ has been raised from the dead ## This can be translated with an active verb: "God brought Christ back to life after he died." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) ## Death no longer rules over him ## Here "death" is described as a king or ruler that has power over people. This can be translated as: "He can never die again." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
