Romans

Romans 14:7–12

⁷For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone. ⁸If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. ⁹For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

¹⁰Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. ¹¹It is written:

“As surely as I live,

says the Lord,

every knee will bow before Me;

every tongue will confess to God.”^c

¹²So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
