Exegesis
The reflexive dative heautō {ἑαυτῷ | he-au-tô} ‘to himself’ occurs in both clauses and functions as a dative of reference or sphere, denying that either living or dying is oriented ultimately toward oneself.
In context — Romans 14:7
For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
