Romans 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
English “we be dead” in Romans 6:8 was translated from Greek verb 599 apothnesko from a compound of Greek preposition 575 apo denoting separation of one thing in deference to another and Greek verb 2348 thnesko subjectively meaning to cause to be either spiritually or physically dead and objectively means to be caused to be either spiritually or physically dead. God’s definition of physical versus spiritual life and death is explained in previous Either Your Flesh Thoughts Are Dead Or Your Spirit Is Dead post.
Do You Choose To Be In Union With God or With Flesh Human Beings? English “with” in Romans 6:8 was translated from Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union.
Who Performs The Action Of Greek Verb 2198 Zao? Who Receives The Action Performed? English “we shall” “live with” in Romans 6:8 was translated from Greek verb 4800 suzao from a compound of Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union and Greek verb 2198 zao subjectively meaning to cause to be alive and objectively means to be caused to be alive. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 4800 suzao during this earth age and only God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive the action God performs during this earth age as documented in Romans 11:4-7 and “the rest” noted in Romans 11:7 includes 11:7’s “Israel” and “the rest” is everyone other than the “seven thousand” noted in Romans 11:4 and “election” noted in Romans 11:5 & 7. Conversely, a human being can perform the action of Greek verb 2198 zao by planting a seed in the earth where light and water can cause the seed to be alive in the form of a living plant. One female and one male can cause their baby to be alive in the form of a human being. Only God can cause a human being to be spiritually alive during this earth age. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are “those that are alive from the dead” of Romans 6:13 and who achieve “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 and “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” while “the rest” [everyone other than God’s election] are the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 who are subsequently susceptible to the spiritual “second death” of Revelation 20:6.
