Romans 14:6-9

English Standard Version

⁶ The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since ^(A)he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. ⁷ For ^(B)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, ^(C)whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ ^(D)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both ^(E)of the dead and of the living.
