2 Corinthians 5:15

2 Corinthians 5:15

13 For ^aif we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that ^aif One died for all, then all died;

15 and He died for all, ^athat those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

16 ^aTherefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, ^byet now we know Him thus no longer.

17 Therefore, if anyone ^ais in Christ, he is ^ba new creation; ^cold things have passed away; behold, all things have become ^dnew.

18 Now all things are of God, ^awho has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

Should no longer live unto themselves (ina mhketi eautoiv zwsin). The high doctrine of Christ's atoning death carries a correspondingly high obligation on the part of those who live because of him. Selfishness is ruled out by our duty to live "unto him who for their sakes died and rose again."
