7. None of us lives for himself only, none of us dies for himself only.
8. If we live, it is for the Lord that we live, and if we die, it is for the Lord that we die. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9. For Christ died and rose to life in order to be the Lord of the living and of the dead.
10. You then, who eat only vegetables — why do you pass judgement on others? And you who eat anything — why do you despise other believers? All of us will stand before God to be judged by him.
11. For the scripture says:“As surely as I am the living God, says the Lord,everyone will kneel before me,and everyone will confess that I am God.”
12. Every one of us, then, will have to give an account of ourselves to God.
