Exegesis

The verse begins with the explanatory conjunction kai gar {καὶ γὰρ | kaí gár}, which links Christ’s conduct to the preceding exhortation about not pleasing ourselves.

In contextRomans 15:3

For even Christ did not please Himself, but just as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproach You fell upon Me.”
