Exegesis
The oath formula Zo ego {Ζῶ ἐγώ | Zô egṓ} ‘I live’ functions as a solemn self-imprecation, a common Semitic-style oath rendered in Greek, intensifying the certainty of what follows.
In context — Romans 14:11
For it has been written, “As I live,” says the Lord , “every knee will bend to Me, and every tongue will confess to God .”
