‏ Romans 14:7-9

7-8. For none of us--Christians

liveth to himself--(See 2Co 5:14, 15), to dispose of himself or shape his conduct after his own ideas and inclinations.

and no man--"and none" of us Christians "dieth to himself."

9. For to this end Christ both, &c.--The true reading here is, To this end Christ died and lived ("again").

that he might be Lord both of the dead and--"and of the"

living--The grand object of His death was to acquire this absolute Lordship over His redeemed, both in their living and in their dying, as His of right.
