Romans 14:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 Whether we live or die, it must be for the Lord. Alive or dead, we still belong to the Lord. 9 This is because Christ died and rose to life, so that he would be the Lord of the dead and of the living. 10 (A) Why do you criticize other followers of the Lord? Why do you look down on them? The day is coming when God will judge all of us.
