Filoi,

Romans 8:13 says (NIV): "If you live according to the flesh, you will
die."

Now, the "you will die" is MELLETE APOQNHSKEIN, which is literally "you
are about to die". I think Paul is saying that people who live an
ungodly lifestyle are on their way to self destruction and will soon die
(physically and spiritually).

Therefore, I would translate it as "You will surely die very soon".

comments?

cheers,
Andrew
