Romans 14:8-13

New International Version

⁸ If 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.^{(A) 9} For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life^(B) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.^(C)

¹⁰ You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister^[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?^(D) For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.^{(E) 11} It is written:

¹² So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.^(H)

¹³ Therefore let us stop passing judgment^(I) on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.^(J)
