Romans 14:5-9
New Living Translation
5 In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. You should each be fully convinced that whichever day you choose is acceptable. 6 Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God. 7 For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. 8 If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 Christ died and rose again for this very purpose—to be Lord both of the living and of the dead.

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.
