Exegesis
The subject ho Christos {ὁ Χριστὸς | ho Khristós} stands first for emphasis, followed by the negated verb phrase oukh ēresen heautō {οὐχ ἤρεσεν ἑαυτῷ | oukh ḗresen heautôi}. The aorist indicative ēresen presents Christ’s refusal to seek His own advantage as a decisive, paradigmatic fact rather than an ongoing process. The dative heautō marks the one who could have been the beneficiary of His pleasing action, with the negation oukh excluding this possibility.
In context — Romans 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.”
