Origen, on Rom 14:7

“For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.”

“We must not please ourselves but rather assume the example of Christ, who alone died to sin, so that by imitating him we too might become strangers to sin and die to it. We do not have this example of living in ourselves, but we get it from Christ.”
