Can anyone tell me what the phrase "Live by the Sword. Die by the Sword" means? Many thanks in advance!

If you live a certain way, it will shape your life and your ultimate destiny.

Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. (Matthew 26:52)
