(A)One person judges one day above another, another judges every day alike. Each person must be (B)fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards the day, regards it for the Lord, and he who eats, eats for the Lord, for he (C)gives thanks to God; and he who does not eat, for the Lord he does not eat and gives thanks to God. For not one of us (D)lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore (E)whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end (F)Christ died and lived again, that He might be (G)Lord both of the dead and of the living.

One person values one day above another. Another person values every day the same. Let each person be fully convinced in his own mind. The person who honors a certain day does this for the Lord, and the person who eats does this for the Lord, because he gives thanks to God. And the person who does not eat does this for the Lord and gives thanks to God.

In fact, not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself. Indeed, 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. For this reason he died, rose,[a] and lived, to be Lord of both the dead and the living.
