    In Mark 14:31, the aorist active infinitive occurs in a pledge made alongside refusing to deny; the APB renders the clause, "If it is necessary for me to die with you, I will by no means deny you." In 2 Corinthians 7:3, the same infinitive stands with living together in an expression of shared devotion, while 2 Timothy 2:11 uses the first-person plural aorist active indicative in the condition paired with living with him.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clauses as "die with you," "to die together," and "died with him." These renderings confirm the clauses' shared-dying context rather than establish separate lexical senses.
