¹⁰ For ^(A)we are his workmanship, ^(B)created in Christ Jesus ^(C)for good works, ^(D)which God prepared beforehand, ^(E)that we should walk in them.

⁷ For ^(A)none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. ⁸ For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, ^(B)whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ ^(C)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both ^(D)of the dead and of the living.

¹² So then ^(H)each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Do Not Cause Another to Stumble

^13 (I)Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide ^(J)never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
