NETBible

For the love of Christ¹ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ² died for all; therefore all have died.

NET Notes

¹tn The phrase ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Χριστοῦ (Jh agaph tou Cristou, “the love of Christ”) could be translated as either objective genitive (“our love for Christ”) or subjective genitive (“Christ’s love for us”). Either is grammatically possible, but with the reference to Christ’s death for all in the following clauses, a subjective genitive (“Christ’s love for us”) is more likely.

²tn Grk “one”; the referent (Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
