SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:7

Porque ninguno de nosotros vive para sí, y ninguno muere para sí.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 14:7

Verse 7. None of us liveth to himself] The
Greek writers use the phrase, eautw zhn, to signify acting according to one's own judgment, following one's own opinion. Christians must act in all things according to the mind and will of God, and not follow their own wills. The apostle seems to intimate that in all the above cases each must endeavour to please God, for he is accountable to him alone for his conduct in these indifferent things. God is our master, we must live to him, as we live under his notice and by his bounty; and when we cease to live among men, we are still in his hand. Therefore, what we do, or what we leave undone, should be in reference to that eternity which is ever at hand.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. For none of us liveth to himself , etc..] That is, none of us
believers; others may, but these do not, at least they ought not, nor do they when under the influence of the grace of God: they do not live, neither to righteous, nor to sinful self; they do not live upon their duties and services; nor do they ascribe their life, righteousness, and salvation to them; nor do they live to their own lusts, or make provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof, and much less to the lusts and wills of others: and no man dieth to himself ; every man dies, and must, or undergo a change equivalent to death; believers die as well as others, not eternally, or the second death, but corporeally, or a temporal death, but not to themselves; as they do not seek their own will and pleasure, and profit in life, so neither in death; they do not die to their own advantage only; death is gain unto them, it frees thema from all their sorrows, toil, and labours, and introduces them into the presence of Christ, and the enjoyment of everlasting happiness; but this is not all their death issues in, but also in the glory of Christ: moreover, no man has the power over life or death; as his life is not from himself, he has no power to lengthen or shorten it, nor to hinder or hasten death; this belongs to another Lord and master, whom life and death are both to subserve. This is an illustration of the above reason, by which the apostle confirms his advice.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-13 - Though some are
weak, and others are strong, yet all must agree not to live to themselves. No one who has given up his name to Christ, is allowedly a self-seeker; that is against true Christianity. The business of our lives is not to please ourselves, but to please God That is true Christianity, which makes Christ all in all. Thoug Christians are of different strength, capacities, and practices in lesser things, yet they are all the Lord's; all are looking an serving, and approving themselves to Christ. He is Lord of those tha are living, to rule them; of those that are dead, to revive them, an raise them up. Christians should not judge or despise one another because both the one and the other must shortly give an account. believing regard to the judgment of the great day, would silence ras judgings. Let every man search his own heart and life; he that is strict in judging and humbling himself, will not be apt to judge an despise his brother. We must take heed of saying or doing things whic may cause others to stumble or to fall. The one signifies a lesser, the other a greater degree of offence; that which may be an occasion of grief or of guilt to our brother.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

7. To himself. But unto
Christ. See ver. 8. Hence the meaning "a Christian should live for others," so often drawn from these words, is not the teaching of the passage.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

14:7 {To himself} (heautwi). Dative of
advantage again. But to the Lord as he shows in verse #8. Life and death focus in the Lord.
