Romans 14:8-10
New King James Version
8 For if we (A)live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For (B)to this end Christ died [a]and rose and lived again, that He might be (C)Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For (D)we shall all stand before the judgment seat of [b]Christ.
