2 CORINTHIANS 5:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:”
For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died — the love of Christ (agapē tou Christou) is his self-giving to death. This love exerts existential pressure (synechei) on Paul. The logic is participatory: Christ's death is all's death; separation is broken. Representation defines Paul's theology.
