Romans 14:7
For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.
BSB
ASV
For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself.
KJV
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself; whether therefore we live, we live to the Lord; or whether we die, we die to the Lord. Whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and lived, that he might have dominion over both the dead and the living.
For none of us ... - Whether by nature Jews or Gentiles. In the great principles of religion we are now united. Where there was evidence of a sincere desire to do the will of God there should be charitable feeling, through there was difference of opinion and judgment in many smaller matters. The meaning of the expression is, that no Christian lives to gratify his own inclinations or appetites.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
