For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 5:14 Go To 2 Corinthians 5
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
But how is it that “one died for all,” one who is worth all others, if the suffering is considered simply that of some man? If he suffered according to his human nature, since he made the sufferings of his body his own… The death of him alone according to the flesh is known to be worth the life of all, not the death of one who is as we are, even though he became like to us, but we say that he, being God by nature, became flesh and was made man according to the confession of the Fathers.
