Romans 14:5-9
English Standard Version
5 (A)One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. (B)Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 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 (C)he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For (D)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, (E)whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ (F)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both (G)of the dead and of the living.

Romans 14:5-9
Christian Standard Bible
5 One person judges one day to be more important than another day.(A) Someone else judges every day to be the same. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.(B) 6 Whoever observes the day, observes it for the honor of the Lord.[a] Whoever eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God;(C) and whoever does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat it, and he gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for himself, and no one dies for himself.(D) 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.(E) 9 Christ died and returned to life(F) for this: that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.(G)
