And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
And he died for everyone so that those who are alive wouldn't just live for themselves anymore, but for him, the one who died for them and came back to life.
Jesus died for you so you could live for something bigger than yourself.
