7. We don’t live for ourselves and we don’t die for ourselves.
8. If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to God.
9. This is why Christ died and lived: so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10. But why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you look down on your brother or sister? We all will stand in front of the judgment seat of God.
11. Because it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God.
