Romans 14:8-12
New King James Version
8 For if we (A)live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For (B)to this end Christ died [a]and rose and lived again, that He might be (C)Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For (D)we shall all stand before the judgment seat of [b]Christ. 11 For it is written:
(E)“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”
12 So then (F)each of us shall give account of himself to God.

Romans 14:8-12
New International Version
8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(A) 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life(B) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.(C)
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?(D) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.(E) 11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’(F) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b](G)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.(H)
