‘For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.'

The underlying reason for his judgment in this case is now given. It lies in the fact that we do not live and die to ourselves. What Paul is signifying by this is indicated by what follows.

We are rather responsible in all things to the LORD. That being so guidance and judgment on these issues can be left to Him.
