Senses in use

  1. Living together after dying with Christ · dominant

    In Romans 6:8 and 2 Timothy 2:11, the future active indicative plural form occurs in conditional statements about having died with Christ or with him; in Romans 6:8 the APB renders the outcome, "we shall also live with him," and in 2 Timothy 2:11, "we will also live with him."

  2. Shared life in mutual affection · occasional

    In 2 Corinthians 7:3, the present active infinitive is paired with "to die together" and follows the statement that the hearers are "in our hearts"; the APB renders the paired infinitives "to die together and to live together."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "live with him" in Romans 6:8 and 2 Timothy 2:11, and with "live together" in 2 Corinthians 7:3. These phrases confirm the clauses' shared-life setting rather than establish separate lexical meanings.
