Exegesis
The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} then contrasts this with zē ek dynámeōs theoû {ζῇ ἐκ δυνάμεως θεοῦ | zē̂ ek dynámeōs theoû} “He lives by the power of God,” where the present tense underscores ongoing life and the genitive after ek marks the divine source of that life.
A following alla introduces zēsomen syn autō ek dynámeōs theoû {ζήσομεν σὺν αὐτῷ ἐκ δυνάμεως θεοῦ | zḗsomen sýn autô ek dynámeōs theoû} “we will live with Him by the power of God,” where the future tense affirms assured life and syn plus dative stresses shared experience with Christ.
