20. Formal Translation If you died with Christ {Christos, Crucified Lord} away from the elements of the world, why, as though you were living in the world, are you subject to decrees? |
20. Dynamic Translation If you have died with Christ {Christos, Liberating Savior}, freed from the basic forces of this world, why do you behave as though you still live in the world, submitting to its rules? |
