Romans 14:5-9

New International Version

⁵One person considers one day more sacred than another;^(A) another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. ⁶Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God;^(B) and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. ⁷For none of us lives for ourselves alone,^(C) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. ⁸If 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.^(D) ⁹For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life^(E) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.^(F)

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. ⁶The 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. ⁷For not one of us ^(D)lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; ⁸for 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. ⁹For to this end ^(F)Christ died and lived again, that He might be ^(G)Lord both of the dead and of the living.
