Exegesis
The double kai {καί … καί | kaí … kaí} construction is rendered as “both … and” to reflect the balanced parallelism. English preserves the fronted purpose expression (“For to this purpose / This is why”) to mirror the Greek emphasis that Christ’s death and resurrection have as their goal His universal lordship over all, whether dead or alive.
Root and etymology
dikaiosdík-ai-os
“just, upright”
In context — Romans 14:9
For to this purpose Christ died and came to life, so that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living .
