Romans 14:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 (A)One person [a]values one day over another, another [b]values every day the same. Each person must be (B)fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and the one who eats, [c]does so with regard to the Lord, for he (C)gives thanks to God; and the one who does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God. 7 For not one of us (D)lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; 8 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. 9 For to this end (F)Christ died and lived again, that He might be (G)Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Romans 14:5-9
International Standard Version
5 One person decides in favor of one day over another, while another person decides that all days are the same. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind: 6 The one who observes a special day,[a] observes it to honor the Lord. The one who eats, eats to honor the Lord, since he gives thanks to God. And the one who does not eat, refrains from eating to honor the Lord; yet he, too, gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives for himself, and no one dies for himself. 8 If we live, we live to honor the Lord; and if we die, we die to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this reason the Messiah[b] died and returned to life, so that he might become the Lord of both the dead and the living.
