<p>5:7 <i>For one will scarcely die for a righteous man Perhaps for the good man some one would even dare to die</i>- This verse feels like it&rsquo;s quoting some saying or verse from some other writing. The sense may be that for a righteous man the Greek phrase is used in this part of Romans to refer to Jesus as the perfectly righteous one it&rsquo;s hard to die&nbsp;<i>huper</i>&nbsp;him &ldquo;scarcely&rdquo;- Gk. &lsquo;with difficulty&rsquo;, to save him- for he isn&rsquo;t in need of saving; but for a good man, humanly &ldquo;good&rdquo; rather than morally righteous, some would &ldquo;dare&rdquo; (Gk. &lsquo;be bold&rsquo;) to die. True as this observation may be, the whole point is that Christ died for us when we were &ldquo;sinners&rdquo;- neither morally righteous, nor humanly &lsquo;good guys&rsquo; who might inspire their buddy to die for them.</p>
