Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 5:15

_ _ they which live — in the present life (2 Corinthians 4:11, “we which live”) [Alford]; or, they who are thus indebted to Him for life of soul as well as body [Menochius].

_ _ died for them — He does not add, “rose again for them,” a phrase not found in Paul’s language [Bengel]. He died in their stead, He arose again for their good,for (the effecting of) their justification” (Romans 4:25), and that He might be their Lord (Romans 14:7-9). Ellicott and Alford join “for them” with both “died” and “rose again”; as Christ’s death is our death, so His resurrection is our resurrection; Greek, “Who for them died and rose again.”

_ _ not henceforthGreek, “no longer”; namely, now that His death for them has taken place, and that they know that His death saves them from death eternal, and His resurrection life brings spiritual and everlasting life to them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 5:12-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 5:15

And that he died for all — That all might be saved. That they who live — That all who live upon the earth. Should not henceforth — From the moment they know him. Live unto themselves — Seek their own honour, profit, pleasure. But unto him — In all righteousness and true holiness.
