and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for themd and has been raised.

JND Translation Notes

d
"For them" may apply to both "died" and "been raised," but I think "raised" is supplementary and by itself.

W. Kelly Translation

15
and he died for alla, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for them died and rose.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Here Christ’s dying for all is used as a proof of death in all. The "all" who died are all men, who are naturally lost; "they who live" are the saved who are called to live to the dead and risen Christ, and no longer (as once) to themselves.
