5. One man esteems day more than day; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6. He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, it is to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
7. For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8. For both if we should live, it is to the Lord we live; and if we should die, it is to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.
9. For to this end Christ has died and lived again, that he might rule over both dead and living.
10. But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.
11. For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.
