Romans 14:7-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself. 8 For if we live, we live for the Lord,[a] and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.(A) 9 For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.(B) 10 Why then do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;(C) 11 for it is written:
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God.”(D)
12 So [then] each of us shall give an account of himself [to God].(E)

Romans 14:7-12
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)
