Romans 14:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ We do not live for ourselves only, and we do not die for ourselves only. ⁸ If we live, it is for the Lord that we live, and if we die, it is for the Lord that we die. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. ⁹ For Christ died and rose to life in order to be the Lord of the living and of the dead.
