Romans 14:8-14
New International Version
Romans 14:8-14
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)
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment(I) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.(J) 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself.(K) But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.(L)

Romans 14:8-14
King James Version
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
