Romans 14:7

Read in context

Romans 14:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.

6 He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

7 For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone.

8 If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

9 For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
