We be dead [α π ε θ α ν ο μ ε ν]. The aorist. Rev., correctly, we died. The death is viewed as an event, not as a state.

We believe [π ι σ τ ε υ ο μ ε ν]. Dogmatic belief rather than trust, though the latter is not excluded.

Shall live with [σ υ ν ζ η σ ο μ ε ν]. Participation of the believer's sanctified life with the life of Christ rather than participation in future glory, which is not the point emphasized. Compare ver. 11.
