Ephesians 2:10
New International Version
Ephesians 2:10
New International Version
10 For we are God’s handiwork,(A) created(B) in Christ Jesus to do good works,(C) which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Romans 14:7-13
English Standard Version
Romans 14:7-13
English Standard Version
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.
10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For (E)we will all stand before (F)the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written,
(G)“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess[a] to God.”
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.

Romans 14:7-13
New International Version
7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone,(A) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 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.(B) 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life(C) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.(D)
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?(E) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.(F) 11 It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’(G) says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’”[b](H)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.(I)
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment(J) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.(K)
